Just Checking In?

For many tourists, the City Hotel is the first place they go after flying into Bricksburgh-- or coming by boat.  The City Hotel has plenty of rooms available, a great location, and wonderful amenities.

If you're ready to check in at the front desk, then click on through and we'll show you around the hotel in more detail!

Just Add Water

Filling in the gaps around Bricksburgh can be as simple/cheap or as hard/expensive as we wanted to make it.  Luckily, there are some easy ways to make your island "pop" without going the hard/expensive route.

Certainly this is one of them... but actually there is an even better way.

A Shore Too Far

FRIDAY!  It's FRIDAY!   Sometimes the weeks just seem to drag on forever.  Even in a plastic paradise like Bricksburgh a minifig can't catch a break!

Our diver friend here thought he'd made a fortune-- finding a jewel out on the floor of the ocean, but alas....

Think Warm Thoughts

Here in Pittsburgh-- like much of the country-- we are experiencing CRAZY cold weather this week.

 To help get your "Lego mind" off of the extreme temperatures outside, here are some pictures from Bricksburgh's warm sandy beach and ocean front.

Storm Trooper Vacation

Summer vacation is almost over here (in some places it already is!).  Kids will be heading back to school and Bricksburgh will take a backseat to homework and activities-- but we'll still be posting, don't worry.

As we ponder the return to "normal" we consider what would happen....  if Storm Troopers wanted a day of vacation at the beach?  We'll make a movie of that someday, but in the meantime....  what if?

Boardwalk Changes

The city continues to get further refined and built back up.  We've recently done some work in the boardwalk area-- which you may have seen in our video updates-- including a rather significant change to the way tourists get snacks.

Read on to see what we've changed and to get a closer look at some of our other beachfront improvements.

Shark Week

I don't really have a story to go with this picture...  but I keep seeing these funny Discovery Channel commercials promoting "Shark Wee" (which I assume must be very soon).  I ran across this fellow in town when we were shooting the race track video.

I guess it's a bad day to be scuba diving near Tyler Beach.

We're all back from our various trips AND our last house guests left this morning, so we'll get back in the Lego groove later this week.  In the meantime, there's no shortage of stuff you can catch up on at the links below.  

Swim safe!

Tyler Beach People

This is my first post, so it seems appropriate it would feature Tyler Beach!

Tyler Beach is the perfect place for people to spend their afternoon. They can eat at the snack bar, take a dip in the Bricklantic Ocean, or just walk around on the boardwalk.

The boardwalk area is one of the first parts of Bricksburgh to be rebuilt.  Come take a look!

Banana Luxury Apartments

Well, okay we're not really going to call it that... But the newest building in Bricksburgh DOES have a yellow outside and a white middle.   With the exception of the hotel at the other end of the boardwalk, this new building is the only residence in town that is truly "walk out" beachfront property.

 Read on to find out more about it!

Bricksburgh Yacht Club

For as long as Bricksburgh has been around, we've had a harbor area-- and that goes back even to when I was a child.  Pleasure boats and speed boats are a relatively new part of town and they really fit in nicely with the whole island/beach resort feel to the place.

However, there's a big difference between a harbor and a boat dock.

Hotel Inferno!

"Breaking news on Bricksburgh-TV, we have reports of a fire at the City Hotel..."

That's how you might expect the report to start as the helicopter camera catches a ground crew already interviewing first responders.

Remember how last time I wrote that we'd burn the hotel down?  Well, here comes a mega-gallery of hotel destruction, fire trucks and dramatic rescues!

Rooms With a View

Last time we showed you how the Bricksburgh TV Station was built.  Since we're talking about how our landmark buildings in town came into being, it seems only fitting to talk about the City Hotel.  The City Hotel was a natural addition to the town.  After all, if the town is to be a vacation island with a famous beach... it would need a hotel-- and one that would offer First Class service! 

 But what was the REAL inspiration of the hotel and why does it look the way it does?  

You might be surprised....
