I agree with those who feel this is a wonderful thing that a wealthy man is willing to do to save a historic entity. Here in my community a lovely old early 20th century stone building is being torn down because the council would not preserve it, the developer had clout...and guess what, a shopping center, which we need like a hole in the head is going in its place...such is the American way...So sad...and how about Walmart wanting to put a big shopping center near the Gettysburg Battlefield?????

i've seen walmart literally move graveyards in order to build in a location that to them seems worth building on, thats horrible to me to defile a graveyard in the name of more profits, the store they had before was only 10 years old, they were screaming more space when they could have easily takem more room at the shopping center they were at, there were shops open and available all around them.
