The story finally made The New York Times. Too little, too late. Not that I'm ever likely to, but Goddess strike me down with lightning should I ever put a toe in Alabama or spend one damn penny in such a place. Photo: From NYT article.

This sort of thing is all too familiar in Australia. I note you mentioned a similar issue in Tasmania a while ago. Most in mainland Australia would not even know what was happening and interesting that I found out about it from your site. Thank you for a very informative and fascinating.I often visit but have not commented before.
Hi Pam,
Thanks so much for your post. You know what, most people in their home countries don't know the extent of destruction of our priceless heritage is going on. It's horrid, and I feel so absolutely helpless, but at least blogs like this one publicize what is going on. We really appreciate every person who stops by this blog and reads some of the information we post. This blog is a labor of love :)
