| (...) 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 (...)

| | | | | 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)
