So, they're going to disassemble Ringo Starr's old house brick by brick and STORE IT, apparently with the goal of reassembling it one day at a new location.
Should I assume that each brick will be numbered and mapped via 3-D CAD so that each brick will be returned to it's original location relative to the others?
What about the pipes, conduit, wiring and other elements of the house?
Lawdy, this just sounds soooooo weird to me.

Why only 11 streets? Liverpool in it's entirety is due for demolition.

Don't think Ringo's worth it. I mean, I realize these people grew up during that time and are on a nostalgia buzz, but 50 years from now is anybody going to care?

Just Damn! And I though the tax-n-spend Liberals were running wild over here.

There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

I went to England in '97 to visit my best friend and had the opportunity to take the Magical Mystery Bus Tour ride. It was pretty cool, actually. We got to see the houses where each of the Beatles grew up, saw the orphanage "Strawberry Fields" which has a cast-iron gate painted bright red, the street "Penny Lane" where they hung out as teenagers, complete with the firehouse and barber shop, and ended up at The Cavern, where they were discovered. Since they didn't serve alcohol at The Cavern, the Beatles used to drink at the pub next door, "The Grapes." I'm not real big on group tours, but I'm glad I took this one. The tour guide told us the story about how John Lennon's aunt raised him. When he showed an interest in the guitar as a young teenager, she said, "You know John, the guitar's nice and all, but you can't make a living at it." After he became famous, he built her a house and put that saying on a bronze placard on the fireplace.

I think they should rebuild the house next to Pete Best's childhood home....That would drive him whacko all over again....ohhhh the pain...dam you brian epstein!
Best was a better drummer but just didn't mix well with the other three.
