As someone who has travelled portions of historic Route 66, it saddens me that this city once again shows very little interest in preserving our past. Perhaps I'm just a nostalgic old fart, but I wish we as a society would preserve a few more of these unique structures. Just grabbing the sign and sticking it on an LRT station doesn't do much for me, and the history of where it came from will be lost on most people within 10 years.
