     I've  been  to  the  building a number of times recently. The Media
     Heritage  collection  was  formerly  associated with and founded by
     WVXU/X-Star  Radio  Network,  Xavier  University, for whom I worked
     until this summer.
     I own 19th century buildings much older than the former VOA Bethany
     building,  and  have  a  good  working  knowledge  of  real  estate
     maintenance. Of      course  everything  must  be maintained, but the VOA looks to be in
     quite
     decent condition. Too often the 'tear down' fright is engendered by
     those  <     rebuilding.
     Tearing the building down would be as stupid as dropping the nearby
     WLW AM      Blaw-Knox  tower  because  it is not 'new'. The only thing wrong at
     the VOA is     that it is silent as a tomb.
     Dumb  and  shortsighted.  Incidentally the building is concrete and
     concrete <     [1]Jeff.Johnson at goodnews.net
