Your vision of today was the same one they had 50 years ago when they tore down Old City Hall, the Hammond and Majestic Buildings, ripped the guts out of the old Fisher and [[later) the Michigan Theatre... tore down the Romanesque Penn Station in New York, all "so we won't have to look at all that old [[or modern) stuff anymore"....

At some point in the future, when mid 20th century architecture once again becomes fashionable... cooler heads than us will be asking... "what the hell were they thinking when they tore down the better examples of mid 20th Century architecture"....

Maybe one day we will actually LEARN the mistakes of history... so that we stop repeating them...
