Preserving the past is a great thing, but sometimes things are beyond saving. The City has issued a raze order for Alpine Village and a raze or repair order (which is likely to result in razing) for Port Zedler Motel. I have fiond memories of Alpine Village and, although I never stayed in Port Zedler, it will be missed as a quaint part of our history. However, both buildings have been neglected to the point that they have become eyesores, unsafe and economically unsalvagable.
