I have loved the pictures of the various stadiums' LM has challenged us with. The only one I was pretty sure about was Richlands, and the one I should have know was Abingdon's. History has always been a draw for me. It's the genesis of our civilization, our nation and the heart of our heritage. From my grandmother's trunk, even now with many years tacked on, I'm learning new things about my family.
Reflecting on the posts Liam's made, showing these stadiums in their infancy, such a treasure to see. Not where they are now, but where they began.
I am reminded of the story I posted on the new football stadium in the city of Buford, GA with a mind boggling cost of 62 million dollars. It's unfathomable, a high school stadium costing this. There are deep pockets there, but has it created the history of the community, or a monument the community can build.
The quote cited above, is what we have built on. Our local communities creating a rich heritage with these stadiums built here. Time may erase the structure, but never the memories created. Wealth isn't always measured by the size of the wallet, but the size of the community's DNA to continue to better the next generation.
