I do appreciate it!

And btw, the shaky camera at Abbeville was a hand stuck through chained doors to get that photo. I’m nothing if not dedicated to giving the best coverage I can!

A less than pro-preservation editorial on the Spain House preservation drama can be found in "Finding a path to consensus is rarely easy" in the NE Journal (the fancy smancy iPhone does limitations) Usually the NEJournal is a little more progressive than this editorial...if anyone would actually look at the $600K figure they would see a number of items that have little to do with the house proper (grounds improvement). From my understanding of the case, the Owner simply wants the house to go away and keep waving the flag of wanting to be a downtown corporate member of the community. At some point the community has to weigh the importance of these institutions against the destruction of the downtown density and built history for the paving of parking lots...sing it Joni!
