My sister, "the Dr.", is seven years older than me. When I was seven or eight, she wrote a letter to the News Journal (I was proud of her for that) in opposition of the demolition of old theater on Main St. in Newark. You remember the one - right next to the Malt Shoppe... And that's the point, driven home by the recent closing of the Post House... It seems all things old must go to make way for something newer...
Fare thee well, icons of Newark long ago, alive only as long as our memories endure...

I spent some time on the phone today with an employee in the city manager's office discussing this demolition. The only historic preservation attempt was by a volunteer group several years ago who failed to raise money or get grants although all sorts of other help is streaming in from state and other sources to complete the million plus project.
It is terrible to have to give up on the tower. Really bad.
