Hi! I'm currently living in Kalamazoo. I graduated from college last spring and have been spending more time playing with Lego than I have looking for a paying job. I'd like to meet some of the local Lego fans. Which areas are people interested in? (...) (25 years ago, 20-Feb-00, to lugnet.loc.us.mi)

FYI I am not sure when it opened but I just noticed one in Eastbrook mall. If anyone wanted confirmation that Eastbrook is dying, here's one more clue for you.
