Atlanta Gets Rebuilt at Phipps Plaza

Building things out of Lego bricks is a nearly universal childhood experience. The interlocking plastic blocks came out of Denmark in 1949 and have spread to toy boxes and living room floors the world over ever since.  One way the company has been banking on the toy’s popularity is by opening a number of Lego-themed attractions around the world. Part amusement park, part miniature construction zone, a Legoland Discovery Center has opened at Phipps Plaza here in Atlanta, and I spoke with their Master Model Builder Joshua Bon to find out the deeper meaning behind that little plastic brick.
