cool. Lets build us a wall city with towers to shoot at liberals who want to steal our food.
A Dublin Viking Archer Viking Archer with viking type long bow And Viking Rus trader/Raider with Step recurve bow
Curiously enough the wife and I were in Dublin earlier this year. We visited Christchurch, and viewed the Viking exhibit. Can’t remember looking through the wall. Drat!
It takes a new mindset to preserve history for posterity. We have an 1870 era courthouse and jail. The courts are moving out to a new building with better security. County staff started looking at partial demolition and remodel. Some of us insisted that they take the museum director and local hostorical society through to identify important historical architectural features. They can then showcase a decorative cornice or “interpret” the jail by featuring an old cell door set up in the remianing portion with historical interpretive verbage. This way we create an interesting tourist attraction in addition to our gold exhibit.
Problem will be that there is no money available to do this. It will probably get stored and eventually destroyed when posterity shows less appreciation than we did.
The biggest problem could be plugging all the tunnels that periodicaly flood the basement. We are built in an old mining area and it is like Paint Your Wagon all over town. Seems the local shopkeepers preferred to travel underground down mainstreet during the winter. I am told the local hotel used to provide food and beverage service to other establishments that way. (Probably helped during prohibition as well.)
