The Deli Cafe Opens to Critical Acclaim

 After years of lamenting the Mayor's decision not to use tax dollars to bring Café Corner to MoreCityBricks, residents are elated with the arrival of the Deli Café, a sandwich shop with the charm of the Café Corner franchise without the tax burden.



"With the ever rising cost of Café Corner, it just did not make sense for MoreCityBricks to move in that direction," said Mayor Builder. "Now with the Deli Café, we have the essence of that historic business with a style and flair that is distinctly MoreCityBricks."

It's always a challenge to make plant life look real in Lego scenes - even when you're using the new botanical pieces. Fortunately, the Lego Queer Eye Fab 5 Loft (10291) gives us several nicely styled potted plants that can improve any modular scene - in a living room or on the street.  This big pot of Lego leaves looks great in the Fab 5 Loft and even better, in my opinion, on the sidewalk in front of a modular building. With just seven pieces, it's a quick build and one of my favorite things! The Fab 5 Loft is now on sale at Lego.com for 40% off - just $59.99!
