Do over

There seems to be a movement to rename the building at 218 N Campbell.

We currently call it the Luther building because of the moving and storage company of that name that occupied the building.

Originally it was named the Mulligan building after the local businessman who built it.

Soon after the building was built it became the Quartermaster Corps supply house for General Pershing’s Punitive Expedition into Mexico.

Now it will be one of the many buildings that our city government has been scattered into.

It seems that the building’s historical association with banditos will be continued.

Then again, those of you who play golf will understand why I would be happy to see the building renamed Mulligan if the tax payers get to take one on the whole deal.

We deserve better

    This is the building that should have been demolished. Not city hall. It’s a bad joke.
