Anyway, it lead me to a Youtube video that my guess you have seen but thought others might not have. It is a tour of the property before they started the demolition and is a valuable piece of Salem history. <br /><br />I really appreciate that someoen took the time to do this video, because like you point out in the Greenbaum story, we are losing so much of our history here in Salem.<br /><br />The video is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klHSLjW0Z7A<br /><br />As an aside...I grew up in Salem and my ancestors go back to the first wagon train to take the Applegate trail to Oregon in 1846. They settled in the area and my mother grew up in Salem and would share memories of many things from the past, like the night the Capitol building burned and watching the metal dome glow in the night sky until it fell in on itself and later watching the demolition crew toss the pillars into Mill Creek by the high school ( NSHS)...<br /><br />I am trying to piece together a family history with old records and photographs etc. Finding videos like this are rare and it is going to be so valuable for future generations to learn about our local history.Susann Kaltwassernoreply@blogger.com
