[soapbox]
excuse me while I'm up here.The fingerpointing is in full swing between the city and csx.the depot which recently caught fire was blamed on csxs poor maintanance.now can someone please tell me why or how csx would maintain a building when the city kicked them out of said building years ago.there were groups interested in saving the depot but now that probably wont happen. the city is also talking about facelifting the viaducts here in town and charging csx up the wazoo for it on their taxes.the bs just goes on and on[:(!].both parties need to get their heads out of somwhere and get stuff done.
thanks for letting me vent.
much better[8)]

Defiance, Ohio. The old B&O depot partially burned a few days ago.

Somehow, putting common sense, politicians and responsibility in the same sentence is a stretch. (CopCarSS and I are getting a good dose of this here with a liberal sprinkling of lawyer and yellow press added in for good measure.)[:-,][:-,][:-,]
