Maybe it's just cuz every one of us is "resistant to change" in the old
homestead.  I HATE the monstrosity that sits on/next to where Rothchild's
department store used to stand.  It is definitely out of place in my
memories.

Now I am in the same boat as those who advised me back then.  I have not
been back to Ithaca since '90, and I hear that I would be sick at heart to
see the place now.  For example, the east and west ends of downtown, with
many lovely 19th and early 20th century buildings, have reportedly been
leveled.

Worse yet is the fate of Watertown, where I took part in a historical and
architectural survey in 1988-90.  I heard a while back from a longtime
Watertown preservationist who simply gave up and moved away.
