Yes, indeed, Rainier drives a Subaru. There are only so many Rainiers that drive purple/blue cars, after all. Thanks for your comment and your interest; I hope you'll come back and keep reading. I've added you to my Bloglines and will be keeping up :) Cheers, Glynnis Although this is not in response to your post, I figured I’d have better luck reaching you here than having you return to my own site to read my response to your most recent comment.

I have written to Sam Frazier (the chair) and will write to Cheryl Morgan (from AU:CAUS) to make the case that, insofar as the public has any voice in this decision, the public interest is to preserve and re-use the existing building. I do not know the extent to which that interest is to be heard under the rules and laws guiding the issuance of demolition permits. Certainly the demolition of the Otto Marx Mansion on Highland Avenue is a frightening precedent. But the fact that the City has insisted on preserving Quinlan Castle (built 10 years after the News' building) is encouraging. Thanks for the report.
