Who Needs the Capitol?

RECEIVED Mon., Oct. 8, 2007

Dear Editor,
    When I checked out the image of a possible city skyline [“Austin's Future Skyline?” News, Oct. 5], I noticed one thing missing: the Capitol building.
    Oh well, who needs that old eyesore anyway? Why let protecting views of that clunky hunk of junk get in the way of progress? What we need is more overpriced condos to welcome more yuppies from California?
    Maybe we can build a giant mall around that rickety old Capitol building and hang a waterslide off the dome. That would be awesome!
Thanks,
Ted Fero
