Moderne Masterpiece

Midtown West, Manhattan - (BTT) Celebrating 70 years of feeding hungry New Yorkers, the Big Apple Diner is still the greasy spoon of choice for the neighborhood's working class. The beautiful Streamline Moderne exterior only gets better as each decade rolls by.

The Complete Package

Market Street Historic District - (BTT) Letter writing might be a lost art, but there is plenty of art to be found in the artist's studio atop this charming post office. A florist on the ground floor has additional entries onto the short side of Market Street, finally giving purpose to this long neglected part of the neighborhood.

Mount Clemens, Michigan - (BTT) As you can see, Brick Town Talk not only has an obsession with anything related to Michigan, but also stuff from the past. Pardon the bias. Enjoy!

Meet the New Guy

Greetings all!

My name is Jonathan, and I am excited to have been selected by Chris to be the newest author here on Brick Town Talk! I have been fortunate enough to have been featured on the site several times in the past, most recently with my Galaxy Diner and Empire Theater, and those of you who frequent Flickr or post on the Eurobricks forums might know me better by my screen name, sonicstarlight.

I came out of my Lego dark ages around the time the Cafe Corner hit the shelves, and I was instantly in love with the modular line. In addition to all the official releases, I currently have 7 MOCs of my own. I am a purist at heart (technic bricks and pins to join models together, detachable floors, no stickers), and I try to make buildings that work in harmony with the official sets while still being unique.

Seeing all the great creations by others on this site truly served as the inspiration for me to start making my own models, and I promise to do my very best to find and share the best buildings out there with all of you.

I know that no one visits this site to read a novel, so I'll stop writing now and end with a photo of my latest CC-standard creations inspired by The Burrow and Diagon Alley sets. And I promise that going forward, my posts won't all be about me.

Not really buildings exactly, but the US just ended a inspirational era in NASA history. So, check out this cool space shuttle build....in time lapse!
