|
| (...) Brian, A little bird told me the same thing... The store will have a very large Pick-a-Brick in the side room. And the new store will have the new modern yellow brick look with many displays, shelves a long the walls, etc. And it looks like (...) (20 years ago, 30-Jan-05, to lugnet.loc.us.fl.orl)

| (...) I too had the same dream but in a bit warmer climate. There used to be this old church for sale on Amelia Island in Florida that I thought would be a great location for a LEGO museum / shop. Of course I need to win the lottery or something so (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jan-05, to lugnet.loc.us.oh, lugnet.general, FTX)
| | | | | Re: LEGO museum in Ohio?
|
| I have contacted them about a week ago, they said they'd get back to me, but no contact since then. I'd love a place that I can reach in 2 hours, and where I can park my Lego collection. If this turns out to be a legit museum, I'll be more than (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.loc.us.oh, lugnet.general, FTX)

| Hi all, This is just a reminder that our monthly Sacramento Brick Builders meeting will be this Saturday, January 29th, from 11AM-3PM, at the Arden-Dimmick Library, 891 Watt Ave. I spoke to a Sacramento Bee reporter this morning for quite a while, (...)

| | | | | Re: LEGO museum in Ohio?
|
| (...) I'm sorry, but are you implying that Lego was first made in Ohio, like the baseball bat comes from Cooperstown, NY? Maybe it is near Samsonite! (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.loc.us.oh, lugnet.general, FTX)
| | | | | Re: LEGO museum in Ohio?
|
| (...) That was my guess too. If it were Lego doing the organizing, they'd probably aim for a larger "vacation area" spot (balanced with cheap real estate of course), but considering how this looks more privately run, it's probably what they could (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.loc.us.oh, lugnet.general, FTX)
| | | | | Re: LEGO museum in Ohio?
|
| (...) Probably the fact that the owners/curators live in the area and found a building on the cheap there. I would imagine there's a slightly smaller following for Lego than there is for football, baseball, or basketball (HoF in Springfield, MA, (...)

| (...) Well, the Pro Football Hall of Fame is in Canton because one of the most dominant football franchises of the early days was the Canton Bulldogs. The baseball hall of fame has a slightly more (URL) convoluted history>. But it has history. What (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.loc.us.oh, lugnet.general, FTX)

| | | | | Re: LEGO museum in Ohio?
|
| (...) That's what I was thinking also. Why would you put it in the middle of "no where" (no offense to anyone that lives in that area) but you would want it in a location that people would visit on a trip or something. I also find it strange that (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.loc.us.oh, lugnet.general, FTX)
| | | | | Re: LEGO museum in Ohio?
|
| (...) The bid is listed as being from Bellaire, Ohio which is way down south-east on the border with West Virginia, across the river from Wheeling. An interesting and very out-of-the-way place to put a museum. I'd think that TLC would be interested (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.loc.us.oh, lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) Most curious ebay placement. The picture of the school building almost looks like one of those old postcards (like from the 40s or 50s). Otherwise, I dunno. Ray (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.loc.us.oh, lugnet.general, FTX)

We need TONS of blocks, displays, and any other lego "stuff" we can come up with. Presenters gain a place in HISTORY. We are (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.loc.us.oh, lugnet.general, FTX)
