Yes, doing what is right. I suppose what is Right to one is Left to another. Like saving buildings just because they are dripping with history and unique architecture.

Here's an interesting story. Providence R.I. About some buildings that are in danger of being demolished but recognized by some as noteworthy and should be saved. But where will the money come from? Who will save them? What will be their use? I don't have the answers to that. But just don't knock them down or allow them to be sold to a greedy developer. It's up to the people of Providence, I suppose.

The building below is the tallest in R.I., I believe. It is known as the Superman building since it looks just like the one used in the Superman TV series of the 50s. The other two is of the Beth-el Synagogue and old Saint John Cathedral... to note a couple. Beautiful buildings.
