We, on the other hand, have an 80 year old, run down, 5 block long produce terminal in Pittsburgh that needs to be torn down to allow development and access to the riverfront. There is an outcry that the terminal needs to be preserved because it's a historic landmark in the area. It's ugly, mostly unused and adds to the urban blight, but some people want to preserve it. At the same time we have demolished spectacular churches and other buildings that were well over 100 years old in the name of progress. Jenkins Arcade in downtown Pittsburgh was torn down to allow new construction. This was the first indoor mall in the United States and should have been designated an historic landmark, at least in my opinion. Sometimes I just don't understand the reasoning that goes into these decisions... taminator013noreply@blogger.com
