I thought I should post a message to this group to let any other Chraleston area LUGNET users know I'm here. Post a message yourself. Maybe I'll see you at a K-Mart sale. Ben Gatrelle (26 years ago, 7-Feb-99, to lugnet.loc.us.sc.cha)

(...) Hi Ben, I live in Raleigh, NC, but travel to McClellanville (@ 1 hour North on US17) quite a bit. We're starting a train club up here and hoping to go to a show at the end of October. If you're interested, you're welcome to join us. Jimmy (25 years ago, 11-Aug-99, to lugnet.loc.us.sc.cha)

He is considering buying that big Mini-Fig statue from Shop-At-Home. Well, guess I know why all the (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.us.sc.cha)

Cool. Is the LEGO situation any better in Columbia than in Charleston? Any trains or left over pirates up there?

Seeing as Mark and Milissa live in Charleston, and they are VERY thorough shoppers, for that reason alone, the shopping situation is better in Columbia than in Charleston. I also bet Ben contributes to that as well. As far as I know, I am the only (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.us.sc.cha)

OK. To your delight, I don't remember seeing any Cyberslam or Insectoids. As far as mapping out the K-Marts, that was more of a joke than anything. I doubt I am going to want to spend the time stopping and looking for K-Marts on a 3000 mi. (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.us.sc.cha)
