Okay...
1. It's "historic preservation," not historical. That irks me almost as "definately."
2. Even if a property is registered, it can still be torn down. The National Register is simply a list. You just can't use federal funds to demolish it. It just appears that Austin Peay needs to find private funds (might be kinda hard for a state U, though). If it's in a historic district, it's not going anywhere.
Sometimes I miss Gainesville, too. But I think I made a good decision not to go there.
