I can wrap my head around the idea of them tearing down the building. I mean, I don't like it, but I'm at the point where I realize the futility of trying to save it. However, tearing down trees, particularly those OLD trees is deplorable. I understand there were issues regarding drainage and the new infrastructure for the new building, but I am angered that they did not look for an alternative that didn't involve removing those trees.</p>
