It's a total disgrace to see one local icon after another, including historic buildings, irreplaceable ancestral structures go down, either to neglect or by the wrecking ball. Nothing can replace our past. There is no way to reconcile the destruction of the legacies left to our keeping. Very sad. You lack forward thinking when you leave nothing but a picture to prove the existence of something purposely removed from being. We should be grateful for the strides taken so many years ago by those that loved the area enough to create lasting testiments to their existence. Unfortunately, our past is slowly being erased.
