Joni Mitchell wrote about that sort of thing in 1969

"They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot"

In this case it's hardly paradise but it certainly is part of the city's rich heritage. Sadly a heritage that the nouveau rich and developers want to destroy and obviously, they have won the day.

We've got Captain Cook's cottage.......... I'd happily vote for a swap with Ringo's first house!!

Ringo's childhood house is one thing, but rearing down the Cavern is the real tragedy.

Yeah, in the early '80's, I stood across from where the Cavern had been, then just an empty lot. But, dang, I could hear the music reverberating down that small street (it was a Sunday, not another soul in sight). A magical moment in my life.

Somewhere arond 1995 I went to Liverpool. Visiting the rebuilt Cavern was fascinating but it just wasn't the same as had it been the real deal.

Then I went across the street and had a couple of pints an "the Grapes".... THAT was also a trip as just sitting in the same booths made me imagine is was 1961-2 all over again. **sigh**
