this is so funny! I love the cute little descriptions you came up with for the different "buildings." did you actually see people stacking these up at any point? or did you really do it all yourself?
haha, the little code word I have to type in before I can post my comment is "really27." and I am really 27!

Ooooh! Wait until there's enough snow and then build a snow laundromat!
Snow washers and dryers, with snow people putting snow quarters into them. Folding their snow pants!

@Sarah:
Thanks! I'm glad you liked my descriptions. They just kinda started happening. Originally I was just gonna stick the same caption on for each photo, but then that gets kinda boring. So I started writing what I like about each building, and it kinda morphed into fun little descriptions.
I did not see them stacking the bricks. I did, I would have TOTALLY gone out and joined them. I know who stacked the bricks, cuz... heh... not to reveal the identities of the parties involved. I was talking with 'em after they did it.
i love when the captcha word has some truth to it. Right now it says weeks71. Now it hasn't been 71 weeks since these buildings were made, but it certainly has been a good number of weeks. In fact the folks who stacked these bricks were asking when I was gonna get the photos online! hehe.
@Sparx:
Ooooo. An ice laundromat. Wow! Just don't wash your clothes in hot water!
@moose:
concrete mix would be nice. Actually there's a slight fourth chapter development going on just this week! AND IT INVOLVES CONCRETE! dum dum DUUUUUUUM! *cliffhanger*
@Dre:
Dude! That is SO cool! I didn't know these had a name! They are cairns! TOTALLY. Maybe these carins were dedicated to the former memories from the laundromat. Like the one that was built upon the former location of arcade game Cruisin' USA. Man, I <3'ed that game. They used to have one in Union Station too. I should build a Cairn in the arcade alley there in memory of Cruisin' USA. Actually, there's a Cruisin' USA at the Burrito Palace on Cornelia and Halsted. I wonder if they still have it. If not, I smell a cairn coming on! Gimme a bucket of bricks!
