Sir E Fullner Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 The following is a funny story that happened during a trip I took to Chicago a few weeks ago. I thought that this would be the best place to put it, but if it isn't, I don't know what place is. Enjoy! Friday, May 27, 2010 This day was when we went shopping down the Magnificent Mile. Objective: Find the LEGO store. So my friends Mr. A, Mr. G (keeping their identities secret) and I walked southwards passing many a store, but not finding the LEGO store anywhere. Mr. G: Oh, come on. Where is it? Mr. A: Yeah? Me: I have no idea. We should look it up in Google Maps. Mr. A: Great idea. We're standing next to a Starbucks, as well. I'll look it up. As he looked up where the store was, I looked across the street to a large building with Minifig heads on it. Me: Hey! Look at that! Mr. G: What? Me: That! Mr. G: Oh, LEGO heads--What? And that was the story of how we found the LEGO store. It will be moving soon to the Macy's Department Store. In the mean time, I bought two new sets. I've had loads of fun with them, and I got a little bigger town. I hope that if you're in Chicago sometime soon, that you won't get lost trying to find the LEGO store. Always entertaining, always inspiring, always: Quote
Vindicare Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 It's fun trying to find something that's right under your nose. Quote
Vincent Kessels Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Imagine how shocked I was when I went to the store and it wasn't there any more! Quote
Si-MOCs Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Hehe. It’s funny how you find things when you’re least expecting it... Reminds me of the time when I was on vacation in Portugal, I was in a small town hanging out in this awesome town square, old cobblestones and ancient church, few miles out from a UNESCO site, and I’m strolling along and peaking out around the corner and saw completely unexpected sighte: a minifig cut out – it was an independent store selling only LEGO. I think it’s the only store I saw in all of Portugal that sold LEGO. (And, no I didn't buy anything) Quote
Hinckley Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 And that was the story of how we found the LEGO store. It will be moving soon to the Macy's Department Store. It will be moving to Water Tower Place, I thought. There's a Macy's there, but the big Macy's is way south. I believe they bought in Water Tower Place. Quote
Vincent Kessels Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 It is already moved to Water Tower Place, although currently in a temporarily location. The final location will be ready in August. Quote
