It's all kind of sad. I mean, I guess it's good that they're preserving such architectural and cultural landmarks, but converting them into shopping malls may not be the best way to do it. OTOH, I guess if there were no commercial interests being satisfied the place would likely be razed. So turning the place into yuppie hangouts may not be the best way to do it, it may be the only way.
