If i had a spare few hundred million Euros (which is about what it'd take) i'd dedicate it to preserving Kaunas' interwar architecture. In the five years since I was here last, huge progress has been made. I see the fire station is getting some love. Some of the great old apartments along the river west of Acropolis are being refaced. But a ton of the beautiful old ladies are rotting away. It starts with the balconies, moves to the bottom of the walls where water gets between the bricks and the cement, and pretty soon she's looking terminal. My hometown- Edmonton, Canada - tore down every interesting old building in the 1970s and 80s and built characterless glass boxes. Kaunas has, through a combination of wisdom and coincidence, preserved so much of its character. I'm overjoyed to see the progress you've made, and hope it continues. Best of luck, and blessings on you all.
