Let's Build Some Stuff or Tear It Down

Really? "Kids with zero building or tool-wielding skills have used grid beam systems to create working electric cars"? Sheldon Greaves, Ph.D. reviews the book "How to Build with Grid Beam. A Fast, Easy, and Affordable System for Constructing Almost Anything." It's like playing Erector set. All kinds of stuff, like wartime bridge-building and artificial hearts.
If innovative, affordable construction doesn't float your boat, maybe you'll like this instead- Administrator Fred Russell today recommended to the Richmond County Commission that the next SPLOST fund include eight million dollars to buy and demolish Regency Mall. I didn't catch what they plan to do with it after that. And eleven million dollars to pay off the ten million dollar loan the city took out to demolish Gilbert Manor.
