Offhand I wouldn't be in favor of a tear down.<br /><br />Although to be perfectly honest, you can't swing a dead cat in this town without hitting a cultural and historic church building. We can't turn them all into microbreweries that serve designer pierogies.Bram Reichbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620172942925293407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-3404025287283941532009-12-01T12:19:55.092-05:002009-12-01T12:19:55.092-05:00What, exactly, are you fine with?

The excuse "If we don't do it, someone else will" is used to justify a lot these days (I'm thinking development grant pass-thoughs as in Walnut Capital and the W. Pgh.
