Thanks for spending time with me, Dom and Dee😊

I appreciate the Arch as much as these people, but I still think we would have been better off leaving the beautiful historic buildings on those 91 acres instead of needlessly tearing down what made our city great in the first place. Again, I don't think it should be torn down or anything, just that we would probably still be in the top 5 largest cities if we didn't have a literal parking lot there for about 3 decades until we built it. We need to preserve every historic structure still standing in this great city! :]
