@mercuriocs That sucks... I remember saying that It should be saved.. Later my wife tells me they have plans to save it.. I was happy but you know the rest.. I have a pic from earlier that year of the place.. No more buildings around it.

isn't it coincidental it's called CENTENNIAL and it lasted about 100 years?

wtf why didnt they just leave it where it was. history is not about just one 'thing' that could be moved from here to there. its also the spirit of the place and the atmosphere there. to remember the history you need it all, so you can stand there, take a time travel in your mind and let the history roll. till now i found it always very odd that ppl think they can move even fragile and ancient buildings against all rules of gravity and destiny.
