Marietta missed their opportunity years ago to turn the armory into some type of military museum. The first settlement of the Northwest Territory has contributed to the military history of Ohio and the westward expansion of the U.S. Remember when the man from Parkersburg had a tremendous amount of military items with no place to display them. Marietta could have said come on down, but instead Parkersburg now profits by them. A military-based museum may have qualified for state and federal funding support. I wonder if the Revolutionary War officers buried at Mound Cemetary don't occasionally roll over in their graves when we mishandle the choices their sacrifices allow us to make today?

Why doesn't the city of Marietta give it up on that old relic of a building and spend their 2 million on business development. Who do they think is going to visit here if all the business and people are gone?
