I have no problem with preserving buildings; it's important to preserve icons such as the "
Felix the Cat" sign; it's when they get out of hand is when I don't like it.
They need to get creative, like creating a little a historic park completely surrounding the sign.
Or look at the new enviro-friendly Foster Biulding in New York City; they built the structure above the existing Historic building!!! I could never have thought of that!
