Re: Wilmot Plaza
I have always loved the staircase in the old Myerson's. It is exactly as it was when I was growing up. I love when things remain unchanged. I am sad to see all of these buildings go!

Re: Quonset Huts
By the way as far as qualifying, not sure what the rule is on quonsets, but the contractor is incorrect if its based only by year.? The quonset has been there since at least 1958 (aerial shot), but
