(right next to the BIG PINK MIRRORED CONDO HIGHRISE/NIKKO in SouthEnd/Dilworth)

Please RSVP so we have an idea of how WIDE the lens needs to be! (email me at wilyoat@mac.com)

Come on down to show your support and claim your BRICK because that is all that might be left of Charlotte’s oldest standing fire station come WEDNESDAY. I’ll have a pad of sticky notes so you can be sure you mark that special BRICK just for you! Ok I don’t really have the authority to give away bricks after the demo, but I’M MAKING A POINT HERE!

Hey, I’ll donate MINE to the Mayor who never EVER answered a single letter.

I’d really love to meet the people who have been so supportive of this cause and those who signed the petition. We have truly STIRRED IT UP behind the scenes. I hope this last stand will do the trick.

Not only does Historic Old Fire Station No. 2 have a bulldozer artfully staged in front of it, but a banner that says ”Save the Firehouse” has recently been added to the facade. Charlotte’s oldest fire station is a hot topic and getting hotter. May 12 is the ”scheduled” demolition date. Please sign the online petition and join the more than 6000 members of the facebook group. We are urging the City, the present Owner of the Fire Station and the Historic Landmarks Commission to find a solution that will allow Old No. 2 to stand.
