But it's not nothing. Blank walls and hedges facing the street while the actual entrance of the building is off to the side or in the back sends a message. It's a building that has turned its back on the street. It would be like us meeting face to face and I turn my back on you. It would be offensive, and that's what this design is to anyone passing it on the street. It says to the public space (and thus the public), "You're not important."

We teach children learn this and get a grade or education. Correct.
Now instead of teaching for the grade. Do we need to learn it? ok then why wouldn't all help one to learn that subject. There is no race we all should help all to learn.
Instead, the smart one gets placed ahead of the rest. Correct.
Now a fifteen-year-old student for another country. At a safety meeting started CPR on a person after done. Everyone asks how you learnt that he stated that in 1st grade it was taught i..."

It's all about the money anyway. The building could house people provide showers, laundry place and cafeteria. With little to no cost with donations from ones that are interested.
Today a face on the outside is nothing.
Just saying my thought on it...."

"When Gatehouse doesn't own your paper you can print all kinds of useful things ...
... such as the agenda for the local City Council meeting!
Unfortunately , the SouthernIllinoisan was just purchased by Paxton Media who has the same M.O. as Gatehouse. Hopefully they're not quite as bad.

The Harrisburg City Council will hold a meeting at 6 p.m., Thursday, May 2..."
