That so many rallied around them means we're getting closer to a healthy community.<BR/><BR/>One of the more important factors that contribute to community health is the ability of neighbors to successfully deal with the issues and challenges facing their neighborhoods. Saving the Daisy Medical building and warding off McCartin's destructive tendencies in one week is strong evidence of that.<BR/><BR/>As Annie mentioned, there are some darn good people working hereabouts and making a difference.Jeff Gillenwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14644227936579446535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097125.post-3593072134572627522007-09-25T11:46:00.000-04:002007-09-25T11:46:00.000-04:00I'm sure many people will shake their heads and as...I'm sure many people will shake their heads and ask, "why should such a building be worth saving"? <BR/>The short answer is because it is a link to our past which can be saved and it's in a great location that can benefit the downtown's future. Assuming Tom Johnson's triage works, it will amaze people that a structure so criminally neglected can be revived.<BR/><BR/>It could be so many neat things such as a brewery/restaurant. Perhaps someone with such a background could be located and enticed into the water.<BR/><BR/>Let's see,"Am Pearl Strasse steht ein Albanian haus.
