The depot has been gone for many years and what a shame it is. Because on that platform <br /> son and daughters returned home. The physical structure is gone and along with it the <br /> inspiration to remember the times and stories in and around that building. Memories that <br /> could spring to life in the mind as one drives by. Stories that are still being told as one <br /> points at bare ground. A sad thought that could include our downtown. <br /> I offer Europe. Buildings hundreds of years old and people saying, your Great great great <br /> great Grandfather worked in that building. How does one say that about bare ground. We <br /> in America support with passion conservation and Europe is the father of example. <br /> Now if you want to develop the river front I would like to suggest that the buildings along <br /> the river front could have TWO front doors. One on the Main Street and one facing the <br /> river with boardwalk/alleyway/mall way with electric trolley. The First Bank building can <br /> go and be replaced by whatever is appropriate for the river front. I am sure they won't 1 <br /> mind, because they are more than likely the instigator of this "revitalization. <br /> • y Money talks and Wal-Mart hurts but history speaks to the heart. <br /> Thanks, Matt Mellenthin <br />
