Someone sent me an e-mail recently depicting Italy and it brought to mind how people travel to Europe and marvel at old architecture - and Sudbury just wants to tear things down.
I still hear people moaning (myself included) about our beautiful post office that once stood at the corner of Elm and Durham streets: And now they're talking about tearing down Sudbury Secondary.
It was new when I attended. Am I that old? A few have had foresight and renovated, like the building at Elm and Elgin that used to be a bank and is now a men's wear store.
Why is it OK for Europe to have old buildings, but not Sudbury?
Who says new is better?
