School Daze

After reading reports about the state of Trenton Central High and watching a report on WZBN, I suspect it is time to let the building go. What makes me angry is that this need not have happened. What killed this dignified building was lack of maintenance. If Trenton is to save Junior 3 and Junior 4, the city had better get on the stick. Both are handsome buildings. What's truly sad is that there are buildings far, far older still being used, still in good shape. One that comes to mind is Notre Dame de Paris - Notre Dame Cathdral in Paris, France. The building was essentially finished in 1345; it is still being used today. Back in the 90s, the French government started a new round renovations to keep the building up to snuff. If we want to keep our historic building, we have to maintain them! The time to save TCHS was thirty years ago when there was still time and hope. Was anyone screaming then?
