Dressing up buildings is not going to make it go away. We don't have to tolerate vacant if we don't want to. Those buildings have been vacant for so long, they go unnoticed. I assure you this would not
occur in College Park. Recall the episode with the Field of Dreams. We as citizens can make things happen. Bruce</PRE></TT></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>
