It is really sad. Historic buildings torn down. Nobody or no organziation can get the money to save some of them. Canadians tried and failed to save this building. Have you had other historic buildings in your city or town torn down lately? I wish that somebody like President Donald Trump, George Soros or someone wealthy in Canada would put up the money to save the building.

There's very little history in California worth saving. A few missions but no one is tearing them down. Everything is is relatively new and not worth saving. However, in Baltimore where I was born and raised until I enlisted in the Army, there was plenty of history and, from what I'm hearing, all of it is vulnerable to the madness now sweeping the nation. The simple truth is that once these artifacts are destroyed there is little physical evidence of the journey we've taken to reach our current "heights" of civilization. There's nothing left to warn us that we are mere mortals capable of great folly as well as great good. Remember, all history is not to be venerated. A lot of it is to be feared and it is more fearsome when it is given form that we can see and touch.

I went to visit Mission San Antonio de Padua for about an hour, in 2013, while on a 2 week Mission at Fort Hunter-Ligget and Camp Roberts.

just 7 miles South of Camp Roberts we went to Mass, in 2013, at Mission San Miguel Arcangel. We got two 15 passeger mil vans to go to this Church that has been in continuous service since we acquired California.

CPT Jack Durish words of wisdom thank you sir. I remember visiting Fredricksburg Virginia in 2011 it was a humbling place to be the entire town with the exception of some modern implementations the town looked the same from photos i have seen from 1863. It was humbling that the town was one of the first official battlegrounds of the Civil War and that 148 years ago both North and South met there to fight.

I lived in Halifax for two years. One of my favorite things about it was all the old, old architecture.
