The building appearing in the fourth shot, however, is gone, replaced by the current main post office building. And the roads and parking lot there were reconfigured for the building of the Memorial.<br /><br />@Grace: the Memorial has the right somber touch.<br /><br />@Norma: thanks!<br /><br />@Lowell: it was a trade off with these as to if the text or the period photos were more important.<br /><br />@Sharon: it does liven up what's otherwise blank walls.<br /><br />@Red: there are a number of tourist information officers who usually are posted by the Memorial, since it's such a high pedestrian traffic area. At present they're spending this summer around the Valiants memorials, which is close by. They're all very handy in terms of information.<br /><br />@Bill: thanks!<br /><br />@Marleen: it did need to be finished, after all.<br />William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-84628792910715245422016-08-04T11:14:03.729-04:002016-08-04T11:14:03.729-04:00It's great that his work was continued after h...It's great that his work was continued after he passed away.Marleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15594342591135194794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-6305326631466955392016-08-04T10:09:36.976-04:002016-08-04T10:09:36.976-04:00Nice series on the memorial.Nice series on the memorial.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12250609752743750337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-84684474917109298642016-08-04T10:05:43.036-04:002016-08-04T10:05:43.036-04:00Information is key when development goes on.
