My favorite part of Legos is the noise they make when you dump them out of the bin. It's almost slightly grating, but oddly satisfying. I also really like the little tiny Legos you could use to make Star Wars models. I never made any of the models, I just made extra tiny houses.

This could be seen as a sort of corporate promotion. Note the unsurprising connection between Lego and Legoland. http://www.lego.com/en-US/default.aspx If Joliet wants this, why not encourage Lego to build the place, and give them tax incentives to come? Lego sees its product promoted, and Joliet gets its park.

This needs to happen. I'm a huge Lego fan.

They should build it next to the jail.

LEGO is already going to be heavily expanding out by Woodfield with a new expanded store at the Streets.
