For what it's worth throwing my 2 cents into the souvenir debate, I once "salvaged" bits from an old, delapitated and very historic building here in Memphis (a brick from the garden and a large paint chip that were laying on the ground) when I sneaked in to photograph. It turned out the owners had never saved anything like these things and they ended up being the only articles of such left. I have preserved them with care and love and respect, saddened by the apathy for the incredible history this particular place held. When my daughter's older she'll have them and can do what she sees fit with them. Hopefully, she will get out of them what I and others do... the occasional moment of appreciation rememberance and curiosity. Not apathy or profit.

See, now, today it would be a poster of a train. To quote a cliche yet again, they just don't make things like they used to.

Makes you really hesitate for a moment thinking that you'd exit those doors and actually find buses and cabs from the 30s waiting.
