I know we are straying way off topic, but this thread would pretty much be dead if we didn't, but now I want to cruise around looking for souvenirs like the ones you got kevin. To the extreme, in my hometown, they closed down a major street and turned it into a mall which was a retail disaster. They tore down the blocks, bricks and walls and opened the street back up. A guy from upstate NY recovered all those discarded materials and built an amazing castle out of them.
