Well..it's done. The Germania has been reduced to a rubble heap. Some might say it was already a heap - an unoccupied, hulking blot on Freeport's landscape. But I am kinder than that: the building probably could have been fantastic, if steps to save it had been taken 10 years ago. But, they weren't. The reality is that the building simply wasn't usable anymore. it had a lot more potential as symbol than as an actual brick-and-mortar structure for hosting dances or tumbling or any of the other hundreds of events that supporters of saving it could dream up.
So, the question is where the Germania fans go from here. I have thoughts on this that I will share in my Monday column.
