Talk about an old building. Well I didn’t realize how old it was until I took a closer look. See old buildings require a lot of upkeep and it appears this one has missed a few checkups. Paint chipping, tuck pointing and what about that corner-stone?

Okay now that you bring it up. Yes, I took several pictures of the corner-stone. Why? well take a look. Please don’t misunderstand me, I’m all for supporting the American with Disabilities act and fully realize public buildings need ramps. But shouldn’t a little bit more thought be brought into these projects?

I was disappointed to see the corner-stone covered up the way it is here. I got down on my hands and knees, scrapped about as much debris as I could from the crack next to the inscriptions and took a couple close-ups? I just wish someone would have placed the ramp on the other side of the building, or maybe even moved the corner-stone to the other side.

Okay finished with the rant now. But really, ask yourself. How does this make you feel?

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.
