[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by davekelly trainluver, If I can expand. I think we both see eye to eye on the the forces that cause historic sites to get run down and then taken away from us forever. That is truly sad. If a building cannot be maintained for the purpose for which it was originally built, perhaps it can be saved in a new role so that it's archetecture and history can be preserved. As a Civil War buff, I've read over the years of the historic battlefields that are being overrun by development in northern Virginia with concern. However, involved citizen groups have worked tirelessly with local, state and federal governement as well as with developers and other concerned citizens. Because of their efforts, many acres of what I consider sacred ground have been saved with more on the way. Is it easy? Nope. But it shows what can be done - only if folks are willing to work for it. Can we save all of it? Doubt it, but perhaps we can save enough so that those that follow us can enjoy and appreciate it. Dave [/quote] davekelly, you're alright after all (and a fellow Texan)... You may not believe this, but as I was writing earlier, it did in fact cross my mind about the civil war battle fields that are in danger. Thank you for mentioning that. I'm also a civil war buff.
