  1. Ludwig's avatar Ludwig says:

    A fine old structure. Gorgeous windows. A tip of the hat, Dr, KO – and thank you for joining in.

  2. “They don’t make ’em like they used to.” A developer wants to tear down three old storefronts downtown and put up a big building of expensive apartments. He says they have been neglected (because he has done no maintenance in the years he’s owned them, hoping they would decay enough that he’d get permission to tear them down) and beyond repair. He said they “were never meant to last 100 years”.

    I am blown away by the number of buildings erected in my lifetime that are being torn down because they have exceeded their useful life, while buildings in Europe are hundreds of years old. And even my little house is into its second hundred years.
