Brickbury Herald 5th August 2002 Late Edition

Brickbury is the site of an ancient minifig civilization top archeologists revealed today.

During routine digging which occurs on every baseplate in Brickbury, archeologists lead by excentric but brilliant local proffesor Sam Grant revealed that they had discovered an ancient monument, now nicknamed Brickhenge by diggers, on the land on the corner of Fourth and Main. The site, where Dinah’s Diner was due to stand, will probably be protected by local legislation as a historical and kinda cool monument. A sizable crowd has gathered over the last few hours, indeed the monument has even lured away the police from the snack stop, although Jean-Luc Lambert has opened a mobile unit to make a most of the crowd.

Mayor Autissier who never needs an excuse for a drink, but likes to have one anyway was elated by the discovery ‘How cool is that, our very own ancient monument, neither Tableleg or Magazinerack has one of those. I just hope this does not mean we will be inundated with hippies’. An impromptu party started around the mayor and when this went to print, 76 bottle of wine later it was still going on.

The council said that they could work around the problem of the positioning of the diner, and Dinah is said to be ecstatic that her little diner will have such a novel view. Real estate around the monument is believed to have rocketed in price already.

When asked what the ancient monument was used for Professor Grant simply replyed ‘It probably had some deep ceremonial value, ‘if in doubt’ my old proffesor used to say ‘use that ol’ chestnut’. I don’t really know, could have been a department store for all we know.’

The monument a collction of standing stones and stone arches will probably confuse many for years to come, here at the Herald we favour the idea of an ancient practical joke to confuse the generations to come, or else Robin is going for a fast food joint. Whatever it is, here at the Herald and everywhere else in town, we like it.
