Welcome to the Neighborhood!

Have you visited before? Mayor Kurt and the rest of the old men in top hats at City Hall say tourists are good for the economy, so welcome! You've come upon one of the quietest and most peaceful neighborhoods in the city, actually.

It's a dead end street, which means nobody ever really comes here unless they live or work here (actually, the Lego City municipal code says you always live where you work). Halloween just ended, so life is back to normal until Thanksgiving. Still, there might be interesting sights to see, so let's look around.

This is the GREEN GROCER building!

Almost no buildings in Lego City are green anymore, so it's a historic place. It's a grocery store on the bottom, and two apartments on top.

It's an old building, but it has been cared for so it still looks like new. Also, the grocery has updated with modern refrigerators, even though when it was built, I don't think they were invented yet!

The neighborhood residents all buy their food from the Green Grocer, and it also seems to be a nice place for them to meet and chat with their neighbors.

This is FIRE BRIGADE NUMBER 3!

It was built from red bricks in 1932, so it's also really old! But old is good, because the new fire stations don't have fancy bell towers and the old golden helmet designs like number 3 does. In fact, Mayor Kurt himself once said that he thought this building was one of the best looking in Lego City!

There's not really many fires, and a lot of the newer fire trucks can work a lot faster than the old one kept here, but the crew at the end of the street is always ready to go in an emergency!

Finally, here's the old GRAND EMPORIUM building!

"Emporium" is the old word for department store, because like Green Grocer and the Fire Brigade, it's one of Lego City's older and fancier buildings.

There are three floors to shop on: clothing, hats and fragrances; tableware and stemware; and of course, toys!

The Emporium brings in new goods every once in a while, usually around the holiday shopping season. Sometimes, it even carries items that attract visitors from outside the neighborhood...
