[Stoat]

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?

Perhaps I would feel differently if I were a huge Beatles fan, but I can hardly imagine it.  The music may have been interesting at that particular moment in time, but I don't see an eternal value to it....certainly not worthy of this sort of preservation effort.  Preserve the music, that's fine.  But an old brick house?  I could see it (maybe) if it was the home of an absolutely 'essential' figure of profound historical significance, but the Beatles' drummer?   "pounding furry stoat head on table"

Is the birthplace of Stephen Foster still a big attraction? He was probably as close as anybody came to being the Beatles of the 19th century.
