Firehouse Sub's are now open!
This sandwich shop is the newest sandwich chain to venture into our area, Subway is in the Promenade food court, Jersey Mike's is across the street at Palm Plaza, Blimpie is sold in the nearby Mobil Mart, Togo's sandwiches are at the Baskin-Robbins and Jimmy John's is across Chick-Fil-A, so if you got a hankering for a sandwich, Temecula has you covered!
Keeping up with the firehouse theme (it was founded by firemen so yeah...) they have not only memorabilia but they ask if you want to round your lunch to the nearest dollar (if your lunch is $5.59 with tax it'll be rounded to 6.00$) and donate the spare change to local charity, a really nice thing.

Man, I have not been able to LEGO in a while. But this past weekend I had some free time and allowed myself to get lost in a quick project. Rather than start something new that I might not be able to finish, I decided to improve something I'd already built.
It was way past time for the Ghostbusters Firehouse to have parking for their vehicle, just like every other base in Hobbesville does. So I took away half of Grayskull's yard and rebuilt the Firehouse from the ground up.
Now, not only can they park the Ecto-1 inside, but the Ecto-2 can land on the roof. And, inside, there's a containment unit, Janine's desk, Egon's lab, and wall storage for four proton packs, two ghost traps, and a PKE meter.
I built my first Ghostbusters Firehouse in 1990, when I was 15 (www.mocpages.com/moc.php/265201).
Fast forward to 2011, out of my dark ages, the first thing I did was starting working on this model. I couldn't finish it right away, so I built a few other MOCs while still working on this, but now I've finally finished it and here it is! Just in time before the official one comes out... who would have thought, 25 years ago?
Elephant in the room: yes, it's gray. Because it *is* gray in the first movie... a darker shade of gray than DBG, actually, but I thought that making it black would have been a bit extreme.
I decided to make it minifig scale, but the minifig scale that you can use in a city layout without making the building taller than the Town Hall. The real firehouse (which I have visited a couple of times) is not a huge building, it's actually shorter than all the buildings around it. So the official Ecto-1 set won't fit in here. (Of course I'm glad the official set will be bigger!)
I'm publishing these pictures now, but the MOC has been ready for a few months now, so you might have already seen it at events, like ItLUG Lecco 2015, ItLUG Latina 2015 or the Skærbæk Fan Weekend 2015.
I built the firehouse the way it actually was during the filming of the first movie... so the "hidden" sides are as they were then (and still are now), that is just brown bricks, and they're probably like that because the building was cut in half 100 years ago (or maybe just because they didn't care about the side people don't see walking down the street).
Besides the official Ghostbusters minifig I added Janine Melnitz (soon to be replaced by the real one) and Walter Peck.

This is our local Fire Station. I'm so glad they aren't far from my home. Every so often they come to our neighbourhood and drain the fire hydrant (identical to the one in this photo) that is beside my driveway!
A view upstairs inside the old fire station on Greenleaf in Rogers Park. It has been vacant for quite a while, but will soon be restored and converted into a home and office with a rooftop garden.

There is no street that leads to this old firehouse. It sits in an open prarie near railroad cars and industry surrounds it.
Former firehouse in Hennigsdorf near Berlin. It's now an office building. Strange thing with this building is the North American look, which is caused by the US-style windows. These windows are obviously not the original ones but were installed by the new owner during renovation.
Note that the photo was taken with a 5 year old Nokia N97 mini smartphone!
BTW: While it looks like, this picture is not HDR! The effect was created by the real early morning sun.
Model is now complete and available on Mecabricks.
Stud.io from Bricklink seems to be a hot topic currently but I don't think it comes even close to Mecabricks when we are talking decorated part and rendering.
HDR was taken in Little Italy New York. This place is a photographer's dream. Tons of architecture. Shot using a Canon 5D 24-70L
The "business end" of the firehouse is around the back. Sometimes people sit on this bench and watch traffic go by.
