Heh yeah -- it's pretty odd. Ran across the site some years ago and have checked
on it now and again. Without going too off topic, it's more the fact that one of
the vacated towers was left standing for someone TO be able to claim. Kind of
the whole childhood dream - finding your own bunker or something. ;) I may just
have to build something like this out of LEGO now. hmm..

Oh, I understand how that goes. A portion of my collection is barely a month
away from being 26 years old. The whites aren't so white anymore, etc.. ;) It's
more a matter that you didn't pick and choose (should your collection allow)
non-discolored bricks for your models. It gives them a lot of character which is
what stood out to me.

I don't know..I've seen some pretty deadly gingerbread houses, don't be so quick
to dismiss 'em. ;)
