Re: Rants and Rails

Foss-

Good JOB on this story! I really enjoyed it! Yes for the people that grew up in Ark City we have many fond memories of how good ole' AC used to be. As the years have gone by, we miss seeing many buildings that once were there. The old high school for one. I remember when Larry Pike Construction tore it down. It only had a few cracks here and there and I wondered years later why they did not just repair it. The new high school cost over $4 million or so to build and after a few short years it began to show wear and tear. The first high school in AC still stands. My mother went there. I wonder when they will tear it down! What a shame!

As far as the old, old bricks that are on many of our streets all over town yes they are still there. It would be nice to see them once again.

Newcomers come and go and have some terrific ideas so they think, but they move away knowing that good ole' AC was not really their home.

Once again Foss good job!
