I agree it is such a shame. Living so close, I was actually home for lunch when the fire started and catching the fire on film in addition to some of the backhoeing that was down later Thursday evening. I would never of believed it had I not of witnessed it... just how fast the building was engulfed and the abundance of flame that ensued it. My house smelt like a campfire for days.

Why set it on fire? See, in the Northwest, there aren't a lot of old buildings, not like in Europe and the UK. We didn't have that feeling of <i>history</i> - it's all strip malls, prefabs, and downtown buildings long since left to go fallow due to the encroachment of Wal-Marts and other big chains. Remember "Animal House"? That parade scene was in my hometown - I watched John Belushi jump from the top of McCoy's pharmacy. Luckily they decided to revitalize the downtown, so in another 80 years it might lay claim to "history" but I doubt that anyone who hasn't seen REAL history will recognize it for what it is and treasure it. Well... shit, KC... WHY would someone want to tear down a building like that? Why set it on fire?

I'm so sorry that this beautiful building came down. How do we not know ourselves if not through our past... and what better way to keep that past tangible than with that which was built by blood, sweat and tears? I think you are right to be royally pissed of. Shame on them! What a terrible, terrible loss. I’m so sorry that this beautiful building came down.

You take it for granted as you walk past them everywhere everyday. I don't have that privilege anymore and miss it like a lost friend.

Luckily our town has the backing of one of the richest men and lots of community support and they are revitalizing downtown and keeping it alive. Of course there are still a lot of grumblers, but then again they can get involved if they want. KC, that sucks.
