While I agree with you that it is a shame to tear down a 100 year old building, unless you own it, you really have no say in the matter. And they have no say in your business dealings if you chose to sell property.
Ug. And the new Supreme Court rulings support your stance. What's a church, home or historic building's value when the city can make MORE MONEY on taxes..........LOL. Enjoy your walmart, I kind of like the old brick buildings myself.
