As a local, tearing down the original Guthire was criminal. Now, in its place, we have a monoculture of Kentucky Blue Grass (or ... "open space") in a City in desperate need of filling in the urban fabric with good buildings..https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399312334718604631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8849813.post-36637061185696327822007-02-07T02:11:00.000-05:002007-02-07T02:11:00.000-05:00In 2040, I'm sure we'll be mocked for not being en...In 2040, I'm sure we'll be mocked for not being enlightened to modern preservation ideas. meanwhile they'll be trying to knock down the new library and guthrie. I'll be waiting for that day with a sledge hammer.<br /><br />Yeah your word verification looks like the 06 KC Royals infield still.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896768934881498374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8849813.post-66252465302578264302007-02-05T16:25:00.000-05:002007-02-05T16:25:00.000-05:00The comment about the 50's and 60's is true, but a...The comment about the 50's and 60's is true, but at the same time, that was before modern preservation came into fashion.

One is that more and more people are becoming used to it all the time, just look at the impact of IKEA and Dwell Magazine, and even Apple. The second is that in the 1950s and 60s, buildings from 1880-1920 were being torn down almost as a habit. It wasn't until the late 60s and early 70s that Victorian architecture became so hallowed.<br /><br />How come your word verifications always look like names of Polish towns?Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896768934881498374noreply@blogger.com
