My younger brother had a fairly large box of Legos, as did a number of our friends in the neighborhood. There is no doubt that we did on occasion use those plastic blocks as the Dutch intended, building houses, towers, cars, planes, etc.
However, for the most part we spent our time building tank-like things for the express purpose of bashing them into each other in a game of last-man-standing, and whoever had built the tank-like thing that could withstand the most punishment was declared the winner.
Nowadays, Legos are used to build just about everything, from a complete recreation of Hogwarts to the Eiffel Tower.
From April 11th through the 26th, Lego has brought it's Americana Roadshow to the Park Meadows Mall. The show features several large-scale reproductions of structures that are historically significant to the United States, from the Old North Church to the Capitol Building and the White House to the Statue of Liberty.
On the first level, that is. The displays on the second level are primarily scenes from last summer's Lego movie.
Legos. Every kid loves 'em, and so do quite a few adults. Go see a whole bunch of 'em at Park Meadows this week without fear of accidentally stepping on one.
