Coming to an end


Students, from left, Baylor Griswold, 13; Courtney Soulsby, 13; and Alex Smith, 12, talk while watching a Fayetteville High School girls basketball game in Bulldog Gymnasium on the FHS campus. The gym will be torn down at the end of the basketball season after 60 years of use.

This makes me sad, which is funny. I didn't go to school at Fayetteville High School. I moved to Fayetteville in 1993, after graduating from college. Yet, I've spent so much time there and made so many friends of the people who I met there that it's sad to see this old gym demolished. The plan is to knock it down over spring break, which seems so soon.

Reporter Rose Ann Pearce wrote a very nice story, available here.
