If this turns out to be a legit museum, I'll be more than (...) (21 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.loc.us.oh, lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) 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 (...)

I would imagine there's a slightly smaller following for Lego than there is for football, baseball, or basketball (HoF in Springfield, MA, (...)

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.

An interesting and very out-of-the-way place to put a museum. I'd think that TLC would be interested (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.loc.us.oh, lugnet.general, FTX)
