well that's encouraging, I guess.

I'm still keeping the leftovers for my shrine.

But seriously ...

Those publicly-owned capital assets are being tossed, piece by piece, into a landfill.

The very definition of govt waste.

Yeah ... I'm using it to reconstruct miniature replicas.

In a shrine with candles and cow skulls and incense.

A dorm that nobody liked was put to a new use ???

You don't say ....

Harper has already met all my desires ...

Thats what people said in the 1920s and 30s about Victorian architecture. And what they said in the 50s and 60s about Craftsman architecture. Tastes change ...

But I agree they are ugly. ...

Hotel. But I'll stipulate that just about use other than a dorm would require extensive renovation.

Is that your professional opinion, based on your expertise in building rehab and adaptive reuse? Or someone else's? What other uses did you / they evaluate?

Mouthpiece of the university administration for 100 years.

Is that your professional opinion, based on your experience in structural engineering or building rehab? Or are you just taking DR's word for it?

The only structural "analysis" ever performed on...

They are useful. Fully reparable and serviceable.

Welcome, brother.

Vivan los dorms.

Asbestos gets a bad rap. It's a really excellent building material ... so long as you don't pick at it.

Same goes for lead paint.

The story was that the rocket would launch whenever the first virgin graduated from Tech.

So which one of you geeks launched the dam rocket?!

Well -- you dont see that everyday. Thanks BB.


The cricket invasion in Fall 95 was also a bad one. The newly-completed Centennial Plaza smelled like a bait shop. You couldnt eat outside at...

Thank you LFR -- you are too kind.

I would only add that anyone who wants to tear down the dorms hates America and CocaCola and is a terrorist and a commie and loves purple corndogs.

But that...

I had heard that KLPI was born in a dorm room before moving to Nethken. (Or maybe that's backwards.)

Either way, I wonder if the room you cite is the one associated with the earliest days of...

That never happened.

Or, at least, there's no proof that ever happened.

It has been discussed on this board at some length on numerous occasions. I have succeeded in converting absolutely nobody to my position that the structures in question are, because of their place...

What's that prayer they do in AA about the things I can't change?
