It is gone

That is so true, my friend. We miss it as we have parts of our childhood there.

@mlgen1037 even if we grow old, we'll never forget those things, and we'll keep it in hearts forever. Hope everything is good in your end. Take care Louise.

@chavezrmc Indeed, my friend. It is fine here on my side. Hope yours too. Take care always too, Emerald.

I know what you mean. The university I graduated from no longer has a "quad", they build a enormous building there.

I don't like it when there are too many buildings. However, some of the buildings at my current school need to be replaced, namely the cafeteria, which will be torn down next school year. Nobody is too sad to see that.

@ElicBxn Just sad. I hope there are more trees in schools now.

@LadyDuck here is a link to the place

They are going to be building a boutique hotel there. The mansion, which is the beautiful historic building, is fine. This part of the estate, which held most of the classrooms, was actually converted from the old estate's stables I understand.

@ElicBxn The location is beautiful, at least they are going to build something.

Most of the reunions lately have been talking about 1) what we are doing and 2) what they are doing with the old campus.

@cintol its being turned into a boutique hotel. This building was slated to be torn down as part of the plan.

@ElicBxn Oh, well I hope they can figure out something good to do with it.

I'm planning to. I hope my wife is willing to go this time.

@Hannihar I plan on going. This pix is from the last one.

@ElicBxn Enjoy if you do go.

It is. However, the beautiful Mansion, that is going to be turned into a boutique hotel, is fine.

@ElicBxn ohh that's good to know..

A park is a good thing to build. If they had to tear down a school, I would hope they would build one.

Really... all the public schools I attended are still there, changed, but there. I have 1 public elementary school nearby, they built an elementary school down the street from my house - I don't know if its actually another public school or a charter one, and there are 2 other charter schools between me and the nearest middle school. But, both of the elementary schools, middle schools and the one public high school are still there.

One of mine still has the building, but it was combined with the other school in town, which was our arch-rival when I was in high school! I still can't call it by its new name!

Oh my! I guess because most of my schools and universities are city and state run that I'm safe on that front. I saw in the reunion group that they tore down the old convent this week too.

It wasn't that bad, I understand it did more damage inside, but they were going to tear down the building anyway to build the boutique hotel.

The best part of the school, the Mansion, is still there and going to be brought back to its original beauty.

@ElicBxn Good!

the Mansion still stands and is going to be turned into a boutique hotel, so the really important building is there and as beautiful as ever...
