Some buildings are worth saving, and some aren't. The old police station was an ugly, insignificant white elephant of an eyesore that would have cost millions to rid it of the asbestos and bring it up to modern code. All that money could have been spent to end up with a building that is still ugly. I applaud CFCC for the Union Station building that will take this building's place. I remember with awe, the old Union Station and got goosebumps when I saw the artist's rendering of the new building. We can have admirable growth tied to our heritage with thoughtful planning and design like CFCC is doing. More than I can say about a few other new buildings downtown that look like George Jetson designed them.
