When visiting larger cities on the East Coast and Europe with much of the historical fabric intact it makes me want to start a support group back home.

Don't forget the Burke Building, Occidental, Olympic, and the Warshal's buildings. Also, the entire block of 1st Ave. north of Pioneer Square. And now, most of Broadway for that light rail station.

Now that I'm living in Boston and see all the wonderful old buildings. I think it is terrible that Seattle tears down it's old buildings and then erects not so pretty ones in their space. It makes me appreciate how Boston handles it's architecture and preserves what it does have. Another prime example is the old church that used to be across from SCCC on Cap. Hill. It is sad that beautiful old building was torn down to put in a parking lot. Very sad. That is one thing I hate about Seattle. Now that I’m living in Boston and see all the wonderful old buildings.
