I don't recall the originators of either of those. X-Posting to .Castle and (...) (23 years ago, 7-Sep-01, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, lugnet.trains)

| Okay, I'm not going crazy, however... I just asked my lil' sis( a HUGE HP fan) about the date, and she agreed with me about the date being correct. However, she doesn't think it's in the second book. I'm currently scanning all four books to find the (...) (23 years ago, 4-Sep-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.space, lugnet.castle, lugnet.town)

| Throughout my time as a Lego city builder, I have noticed that there are (roughly) two different types of towns. One kind has very large buildings, with grand skylines. It is bold and makes a great impression on people. Some examples include the (...) (23 years ago, 3-Sep-01, to lugnet.town)
