It really is a shame that historical places are destroyed. There are too many future-minded, quick-thinking, money-hungry people in the world who can't see the historical significance in things. Does anyone realize that once it is gone, it cannot be brought back? I agree that there are places that are in bad shape. They need a facelift!! It's so much easier for people to just eliminate history and build for the future. I hate seeing history destroyed unnecessarily.
Case in point...renovate Yankee Stadium!!
