Way back when I was still in high school ('87ish), I flew from Chicago to California to visit family. While there I went to many places to site see, one of which was Alcatraz. Regardless of how you think of it... good, bad, or indifferent, I thought Alcatraz was an interesting part of not only SanFrancisco's history but also California & the United States' history. If I ever make it back to the Bay Area, I would hope that I can stop by there again to see Alcatraz, maybe show my sons. It says alot about our society. Where we as a nation have been and how we came to be present day. I think it would be a shame if it were to be torn down. Not all of our past is pretty, but there is a lot to learn from it regardless.
