Driven away by parking restrictions, they are relocating elsewhere, can't see why this place hasn't been given protected status...

Scroll down the page for a brief history lesson and some nice images, like this neat threading tool..

That's just sad. I'll never understand why people don't value history any more than they do. How much do you want to bet that it's turned into apartments or a shopping center after they move out?

leave it to the younsters and too many of them have no concept of value. . . . . .
