Now they have to find constructive uses for all the old army bases since the downsizing of Europe. It amazes me to see buildings where I grew up now remade into civilian businesses. Frenchies was a club I went to every Wednesday and Friday night and it is now a child care center. If there are any ghosts there I bet they are bewildered. Ha! Barracks where soldiers lived are now banks, stores, and restraunants. It is just amazing to see it all. Some of the walls are intact but some were torn down for easier access.

Reminds me of the cemetarys at home in Germany. My mothers family is buried there around some awesome memorials.

Nobody has respect for age and history anymore. I think that is why we lose so much of our history by demolition.

I just don't understand how people can let beautiful buildings go to waste. Reusing old buildings reduces our carbin footprint . That is what recycling is all about.

I sure hope they can save it. I imagine the stories of working there would be very entertaining.

I just wish there were monies to save these old buildings. I know we aren't perfect in Europe but we seem to find uses for ours more I think. My brother lived in a 1000 year old soldiers barracks (they made them into apartments, it was amazing to see what they used as insulation, they weren't finished with all of them so we got to see them during the remodel). I just wish the government would realize how important the buidlings are. Once you lose them a part of our history is gone forever. Memories are also gone forever.
