It's not that people don't care. It's that the Arena represents a very divisive issue within the city:<BR/><BR/>http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/valleynewsdispatch/s_494037.html<BR/><BR/>"For many Hill District residents, the Mellon Arena has been the symbol of the beginning of the end of our community and communal process," Wheatley said.<BR/><BR/>"The presence of the Mellon Arena is on the same par as having the Confederate Flag put in the middle of a community of African Americans, because it symbolizes destruction and hate, even though some saw value in it." <BR/><BR/>I'm pro-preservation, and like the Arena as a building. But its historical context must also be recognized - something many preservationists (including those at the Trust) seem to overlook.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
