[kj] rebellion?

[Karen Weil]

I spent time in Dresden, too, as part of a study group. It is indeed a glorious place. Every time I've been in Europe, I'm always awe-struck by nearly all of the historic architecture.

  I saw Leipzig in 2001 and Dresden in 2002. Let me tell you, apart from those horrid buildings built during the regime, the historical architecture is splendid. Most of the historical buildings in downtown Dresden were still being restored, and wrapped in scaffolding and tarps. Next to them one could see images of how they looked like before being bombed. Dresden is, undoubtedly, the most beautiful city in eastern Germany, let me tell you that. It is know as "The Florence on the Elbe River" (but I wished I could have seen the cathedral in Magdeburg as well).

  Point taken -- and given the town I'm from, I know all about that. For any city to know where it's going, some structures from the past should remain. So, while the architecture wasn't "pretty," I certainly can respect its historical perspective. 

  Cheers,

    Yes, but you don't bury history.

     It definitely seemed as if city leaders and developers were in a big hurry to erase the past. 
    Given how hideous most of the drab, communist-era architecture was, I couldn't blame them, really.
