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."

With a little work, it might have a place in one of my upcoming modular buildings,. I built the car transporter with two race cars. It was a quick build, but not particularly useful for modular city collectors since it is not minifigure-compatible. (The cab is a solid block of bricks with no room for a driver and the race cars have built-in miniature drivers.)   Fortunately, the set has good bones and made for an easy conversion to a 6-wide truck cab with two drivable go-karts. The truck portion of the set needed a total overhaul to make room for a driver and stretch the set out to 6-studs, which is the standard for commercial vehicles in my Lego city. I reused a lot of the pieces from the set, but added several additional pieces and the standard vehicle parts - doors, windshield, roof, etc. I also upgraded the tires and wheel
