 | | Meijer - Lego Horse
|
| I finally convinced my manager to let me take a picture of the Lego version of Sandy, the all popular riding horse for the kids that still only costs one penny. It uses just regular bricks. They used Duplo green ones for the base. Another neat thing (...) (26 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.general)

| It costs a penny to ride? Won't the kids bonk their heads on the glass? And I noticed that your pictures are labeled "sandy-front" and "sandy-back". Shouldn't that be "sandy-right" and sandy-left"? :-) But seriously, thanks for the pics. Do you know (...) (26 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.general)

| OK, I guess I should have gave some more information. This is from Meijer, a huge retail chain in the Midwest mostly: (URL) I work there part time as my second job, and one of the big sellers of Meijer is that they have these mechanical horses near (...)

| Wow, that's the Meijer I visit sometimes on my lunch hour. Scott, if you see a 6'3'' brown haired guy (with goatee type beard) shaking his head in disbelief in the LEGO aisle, that will probably be me. But since it's not your primary job, you're (...) (26 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.general)

| Gary, Hmm.. I go there once in awhile during lunch, but I am there at night pushing carts. It's the most no contact with the customers (guests in Meijer corporate lingo) job you can get in retail, and for 7 something an hour, it is not too bad. (...) (26 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.general)

| Well, Meijer is in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky. The rust belt, some call it. I have always heard it was the midwest, or Great Lakes region. Whatever! :) Scott Sanburn (...) (26 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.general)

| To all, I just wanted to show the Lego model, and where it came from. I didn't think it would lead to a big discussion on where "midwest" was. It sounds apparent that different people from different regions have a different definition. I just it was (...) (26 years ago, 1-May-99, to lugnet.general)
