Reduced To Rubble

It's full speed ahead for the destruction of the newly acquired (but not yet paid for) buildings on the south side of Colborne St. no matter what shape they are in or of what historic value they may have. Apparently the way to save the downtown is to destroy it as quickly as possible. I grew up in Brantford but with each passing day the downtown becomes less and less recognizable as my hometown. And if the city wants to save money, maybe they should disband the Brantford Fire Department. I remember those brave men risking their lives in several valiant battles to save many of those buildings that are now lost. Who knew that it would have been preferable just to let the whole place burn to the ground?
