I knew about most of those. It never surprises me to hear that a building has been torn down (or its destruction is planned). I am often saddened by it. Of the buildings on that list, the one I personally miss most is NY's Penn Station. But its replacement was all but inevitable. Train traffic had dwindled over time, and the space became immensely valuable for other uses. It would have taken a huge commitment of public funds to save it, and one thing NYC did not have at the time was the ability to make such a commitment.

Here in Columbus we had a beautiful old train station which they tore down about 40 years ago to maker way for the World's ugliest convention center. Then about 10 years ago they put up a row of shoppes & restaurants nearby--and dummied them up to look like the old Train Station!
