Eleanor, thank you. Your observations are the real record residents have been craving for years. You are doing something no one else could have or ever did. The moment Melissa revealed that the project was already in week three, it blew my mind and enraged me. You cannot have an emergency that starts after the contractor clocks in.

Makes you want to weep. Yes, weep.

Eleanor, I am the Architect from the article. Thank you very much for your talented writing! There is an active resident group trying to stop this demolition. It is the wrong thing done the wrong way! We love this island and what it represents too much to let this happen in silence. Would you like to join us? I would like to get in touch with you if that is OK.

Thank you for finding your way here and for saying your name out loud. That is not a small thing. I remember the steadiness with which you spoke. It stayed with me.

I will keep paying attention. And I suspect you will keep asking the right questions.
