Yes, it does.  And I spoke with Vickie Brock and Dorie Mead Sept 18th about
another historic 6-plx that was taken down without salvaging.  At that time
I asked why our neighborhood request for deconstruction/salvaging was
ignored.  I raised a flag about this duplex at 3648 Columbus and the plan to
tear it down and asked about salvaging and our "Central Neighborhood Policy"
to utilize the Green Institute.

Evidently, the city has a hard time finding time to encourage salvage during
the six weeks that followed.  And now the home is gone.  Which one is next
in the City?  Is there one in your neighborhood?  I think this might make a
good media story.  

I'm ashamed to admit that those are my tax dollars that tore that home down.
What a city I live in!  I wonder why the rest of the world sees America the
way they do.
