I thought of building a Best Buy for lego town especially since I work there but I always had a problem with scale because if I used teh correct scale the building woould be say 150 studs wide and 100 studs deep. Extremely huge for any lego (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jan-01, to lugnet.town)

(...) I'd disagree that every real town needs sprawl-marts. My LEGO town, Abston, doesn't issue building permits for them, or for McChoke-n-pukes, so you won't see me modeling such stains :-) Nice models, though. Amy (24 years ago, 24-Jan-01, to lugnet.town)

(...) Heh. True. But then I couldn't have made the crack about Generica, and I'm in a cynical mood right now. Anyway, I don't know of too many DD's in downtown Boston, but I can think of several Starbuck's (and I don't go into Starbuck's myself, so (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jan-01, to lugnet.town)

The real world, no kidding. I have been trying to figure out how to model America (as oposed to Europe) for my train layout and it just hit me. It is really a sad commentary on us (US) but it still works! I have a Circuit City almost complete and a (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jan-01, to lugnet.town)

While I do agree that these are great models (I thought it was a picture of a real home depot in the brickshelf gallery thumbnail), I have to disagree that every lego town needs one of these. I typically model dense urban areas where these stores (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jan-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.general)

I can't take credit for this but I just needed to point it out because I like these designs and I even thought of doing the same thing too. I think this is what would complete any lego town. (URL) (24 years ago, 24-Jan-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.general)
