Highland Games: Meeting our Challenges, A SNACC Presentation

The Panel we focus on this episode is “Highland Games: Challenges and Ways Forward”, featuring organizers and leaders of Highland Games throughout the country.

    Looks like we build EVERYTHING in 100 years... We turn down half of the buildings after few decades (Penn Station after 50!!) We build and re-build Grand Central Station at least two times! And the biggest boom was during the great depression (two tallest sky scraper). Thus architects really believe in ALL of this? Shame on us....
