What's on your neighborhood jukebox? Ours has molto bene nostalgic pop. The restaurant is a true classic. Ice cold water and focaccia at every table. Gaspare’s takes pride in hospitality, it shows. The food won't make headlines but hey that's not the point–it's the old school vibe. Immacolata, perfetto. Hey, go fuck yourself.

Merry Christmas Everyone! Do not be terrified, for I bring tidings of great joy and this MOC! It has been about a month in the making, and it was originally for a Lego ReBrick competition, but the contest closed before I had a chance to finish it. :-( On a good note, though, if they have another one next year, I’ll enter it in that. Anyways, this MOC is an estimated 8-10,000 pieces, has 83 minifigures, and weighs about 20 pounds (or 9.07 kilograms). The buildings are as follows, left to right: Ice Cream Shoppe, Department Store, Coffee Shop and Bakery, 50’s Diner, and The Lego Store. Above the Ice Cream Shoppe and the 50’s Diner are apartments.
The Ice Cream Shoppe was fun to do, but also very similar to the one I did in my Cityscape, which you can find in my portfolio of creations. I got more employees, so now I can do it justice, and there are many citizens still awaiting the frozen treat, even though it is the dead of winter. The second floor is an apartment for a guy that obviously just got out of bed, for he is in his volcano pajamas and his hair is all crazy. It was really fun to design, and my favorite aspect about it is the loft, as it just adds an airy feel to it that I just tend to really like. I also just HAD to add a piano, as that is a big part of my life, and I had to put it somewhere.
The Department Store was a very fun build for me, as I got to use all my sand green! Yay! The inside of the first floor is furniture and the cash register, and it works out nicely in my opinion. My favorite civilian on this floor is the guy in the pink suit, and his gigantic mustache.
The second floor is the toy department and Santa’s Wonderland, with his big chair, a tree, a mailbox for letters to jolly saint nick, and a gingerbread man to welcome you to the place. There are lots of toys on display, and you just have to find one that suits your fancy! My favorite little easter egg is the nasty janitor, and the guy walking away finding him very “interesting”. ;-)
The third floor is all clothing, with mannequins as well as a dressing room. (And I finally found a use for my bacon flag! :-D)
The Coffee Shop and Bakery definitely matches the Christmas theme of the whole model, since it is always warm and cozy inside. The coffee shop portion of it is just the way I wanted it to look in the beginning, as well as the bakery, with all of the goodies and snacks. There is a big group of nurses around the table, probably taking their lunch break. I actually really like how the outside of this one turned out, my favorite aspect of it being the gold peaked spire, as those pieces just lend to it so well, and I couldn’t have asked for any better.
The 50’s Diner was an incredibly enjoyable build, as I have been wanting to do one of these forever, and finally had the chance! I have the jukebox up on the wall, the soda machine on the counter, and the checkerboard floor. Up on the second floor, we have the apartment of a total slob, with his stained shirt, food everywhere, and he’s just sitting on the couch and watching TV, even though he has presents to go buy! Cheapskate. :-P
Last but definitely not least is The Lego Store. This is by far my favorite building in the MOC, as I finally got to build a fully decked-out Lego Store! Needless to say, I was really excited when I saw the opportunity. I have a Pick-and-Build Wall (formerly known as the Pick-a-Brick Wall), boxed sets on the wall, Brickly the dragon/sea serpent slithering his way throughout the place, and a big brick-built helicopter hanging from the ceiling. The Pick-and-Build wall has 60 compartments for all the different pieces, and there is also the trademark red 2x4 brick in the window.
For the park area, I knew that I wanted to do an ice skating rink, as that is fairly common where I live. I also knew that I had to put a sledding/snowboarding hill, as I personally have a blast doing that when we have snow. There is a little stall by the ice rink, and a guy is selling hot chocolate out of it for the people that are getting a little too chilly. The Christmas Tree is the crowning jewel of the MOC, with the presents under it, and the angel on top. I had originally tried stringing it with lights, but that surprisingly turned out looking awful, so I just stuck to keeping it plain after that. My favorite easter eggs in the park are the lady getting pulled away by her dogs, the teen trying to skate and seriously failing, and the guy taking a picture of the tree (there’s always a tourist in every city…).
If you just read all of that, I am really impressed. You deserve an award. Overall, I am extremely happy with this model, and will always remember it. Now I have it for the holidays as a great decoration piece, and could not be more pleased with it. I am planning on bringing it to my LUG’s meeting in January, so if you are in the area, you can stop by and see me and some of my MOCs in person. The meeting is at the Science Center of Iowa in Des Moines, Iowa from 2-4 p.m. on Sunday, January 21st. I hope to see you there! I would appreciate if you would follow me, and as always, please comment and like!

Reflections of Yesterday by BSC
As the sun is slowly setting
And the evening shadows grow
I think back on days gone by
To a place I'd like to go.
Back to a place in my childhood
When days were so carefree
Back to the days when my Mama's lap
Was my favorite place to be.
Those days of slides and swing sets
Of playing out in the yard
Those days when we were growing up
And nothing seemed too hard.
All too soon we turn around
And find ourselves all grown
With adult responsibilities
And children of our own.
The memories of yesterday
Come quickly to mind
When as an adult I'm searching
For answers I cannot find.
We struggle through our losses
Gain strength from each hurdle crossed
And learn that we are not truly alone
Especially when we feel most lost.
Now the shadows have faded to darkness
The days warmth is now growing cold
I look up to the stars in heaven
And wonder what tomorrow will hold.
The stars are shining down brightly
Almost as if to say
Sleep well my dear and don't be afraid
For tomorrow's a brand new day..
