It hurts the most when demolitions happen within recent time. Even with preservation societies to protect them developers will still find ways to slip by them like the cockroaches they are. I always have to feel on edge about losing buildings like this. When will the carnage end?! (I know the answer is never jk.)

TIL there’s a Christopher Newport University. Apparently it’s public and has over 5000 students. And in Virginia. Though I’m not in the neighborhood, I’m surprised I’ve never at least heard of it.
I remember having classes there, it smelled like 60s, ha. That school will tear down anything, I’m sure the construction contractor makes sure to help out the admins.
