Why is Reno destroying its Neon Landmarkes?

What are your thoughts on the destruction on the Fitzgeralds rcently?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzger...26_Hotel,_Reno


I always considered it Reno's top landmark after the arch.

Terrible mistake. Reno's disrespect for its colorful past will come back to haunt them.

At least with Vegas they still have tons of cool signage downtown such as Binions and Four Queens. Fitzgeralds along with the Arch was always the Reno's best. And the historic preservationist only seem to care if its older than 70 years. The Fitzgerald's was built in the 1970's.

Not 100% sure but I think this was recently removed as well.
