I have another blog that tends to deal more with current building topics, but there are historical buildings on the south side of town too. Originally that field by the south post office was filled with Wildflowers. They were gorgeous until plans were made to build an office building there. Of course, that building has yet to be built. @3dsound

I know I've got a couple buildings down there that I like a lot, and if no one recognizes them now, you can be sure they'll be the first to hit the pavement (one way or another)... For example, am I the only one who thought the "native grass" landscaping in front of the Boardwalk post office was intended? It sure looked like it was, and if you took a minute to walk from the parking lot out into the middle of it, you were rewarded with one of the finest views of Horsetooth in Fort Collins (true fact!). Now, of course, that open space has been chewed up and whatever presence it had is gone -- another small bit of lost Fort Collins.

It's true that I'm seeing if I can turn the engine over and take my blog out for a drive on the prairie. Not quite there yet. But Bismark, wow. I lived in SD for a while (not Sioux Falls or Rapid!) -- It would be OK if you included a link to your blogging about the northern plains. Thanks Cat.

On the other hand, proponents of designing homes for aging in place have been calling for raising outlets, and lowering switches. That said, most light switches are located next to doors and at wall corners, where no one should be hanging pictures anyway. I know Geoie Writer and his wife, they are great people.
