Re: (rshsdepot) Grand Central Terminal - New York, NY



Of course keep the 1920, in 50 years it will be just as old as the 1875 one
is now (on a Möbeus strip!)....I read a lot of 1890s newspapers and when I
read 1947 it seems so modern but it isn't.....why shouldn't 1920 be as
valuable as 1875?, 82 years is a long long time, many generations ago...just
don't let the current carpenters add theirs!....[someday if this E mail is
read by someone as nuts to read al E mail as I am to read every newspaper
ever printed, will read that and yell, you idiot, we don't have one example
of early 21st century graffiti only this Luchter's bizarre E mails...]
