>http://www.denverpost.com/news/news0924m.htm The Denver & Rio Grande
>Railway Historical Foundation, wants to revive the rail line, which
>operated from 1890 to 1985. A daily train will carry hundreds of tourists
>up and down the scenic Rio Grande Canyon by June 2002. The problem is, many
>of Creede's 500 residents voted 2 to 1 against it in April, and the town
>council opposes it.

>neighbor of ours and we are well aware of just how dilapidated it looks.
>Today it is not a credit to the city. But we are not yet ready to demolish
>any part of it if doing so will jeopardize a $310,000 grant from the
>Colorado Historical Society to fix it up and restore it.

>http://www.azstarnet.com/public/dnews/000924retailinnogales.html The
>downtown historic district in this border town once bustled. A few of the
>more than 90 downtown merchants and property owners are slowly retooling
>the look of this district that includes in its history a former brewery
>that dates to the 1800s. Three years ago, downtown merchants and property
>owners banded together to form the Historic Nogales Main Street Association
>and set out on a mission to attract shoppers and day-trippers to the
>historic area. Also, a state-funded project allows downtown property owners
>to return storefronts to their original facades.

>PRESERVATION

>downtown landmark be restored to its former glory? Or is the historic
>Bartell House headed for an appointment with the wrecking ball?

>21.0001.html  There's a growing appreciation for ranch-style houses in
>preservation circles, partly because of their unpretentious qualities. The
>National Register has begun to add ranch houses to its listings.

>http://www.al.com:80/news/birmingham/Sep2000/22-grants.html The governor
>charged that historic preservation grants were 'pork' projects for
>lawmakers. He ordered a system of accountability for grants and a
>comprehensive list of recommendations for improvements of Alabama's
>historic state parks.

>DETECTORS AND COLLECTORS

>should be left on federal property.
