[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: uchs's stance on the imminent destruction of convention hall and the commercial museum? you may recall that I began this discussion by wondering if there was selectivity at work, in how some histories may be legitimized while others may not.
Reasonable options for not addressing your question in 12/04 or 01/05: 1) The subject properties are outside of the UCHS' operational area 2) The UCHS' primary focus is on the preservation of residential real estate 3) The UCHS understands the subject properties are outside of its sphere of influence
ok these sound like options, but 'reasonable' might not be the best word to describe them...
