[Winona Online Democracy] (From Clay) Whups. Sorry, Ms. Burt! Communication error. Please accept my apologies. My intention was not to disrespect the subdivisions, and I thought that I had made that clear in my message. I only meant to say that we (I) sometimes like to preserve old things and old buildings for nostalgic, rather than functional, reasons. It can be a real hassle to deal with all that goes along with old buildings, and in many cases I would be in support of a new building. The courthouse is an exception because of the warmth and beauty that I have personally felt there. P.S. I've been looking at the places for sale in Valley Oaks this month. Not only am I judgemental, but I'm a hypocrit!
