    I’m tempted to say a side or back door to the Shrine Mosque, or whatever it’s called now – - – or a side door for the old Coliseum on N. Adams St.

    I’m sure neither is correct.

    A door at the old Armory.

    I haven’t been following this story — and I am saddened to learn that we are in the 11th hour with this historic building. What I wouldn’t give to walk around inside, no matter the condition.

    I am going to stop typing now before I say something unkind about certain parties in this matter. The story seems to indicate it didn’t have to get to this point, but I must acknowledge that rehabilitating and reusing old buildings is extremely difficult even in the best of circumstances.

    Thanks, staff of NTPL, for “opening the door” to learning more about the Armory.
