On Wednesday, the City Council was in a study session discussing
the sale of
the Capital Hill fire station. There was more than one reference to
its
disrepair and ugliness. The building is in City Councilwoman Carol
Arends’
district and she was a bit upset by the continued references. She
pointed
out that if the city took better care of things, the station would
not look
the way it does now. Then she made this statement:
“We’re not going to get rid of everything old and ugly in this city, or some of us wouldn’t be sitting here.”
