Sunday Five - your ideas on how to get things done.
1: What building in the place you currently live, should never be torn down?
2: What should be built in your town?
3: Is the High School you attended still standing?
4: Would you be upset if the house you lived in as a child were torn down?
5: If invited to spend the night in the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House, would you?
My answers:
1: What building in the place you currently live, should never be torn down? The FBI building on Pennsylvania Avenue. It a masterpiece and disaster of modern brutalist architecture. It is functional incompatible with modern office. There have been discussions of trading it to a developer in exchange for a nice modern building. It should be renovated and repaired (it tends to drop shards of concrete like leaves from a maple tree in fall) and preserved. It can be reused.
2: What should be built in your town? A large mental health hospital, I am in Washington DC, it needs to be very large.
3: Is the High School you attended still standing? The one in Michigan, Yes, I believe it is currently a middle school. The one in Florida was torn down and replaced - much needed - much delayed.
4: Would you be upset if the house you lived in as a child were torn down? Nope, the one in Michigan should have gone years ago.
5: If invited to spend the night in the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House, would you? Not under the current regime.
