The Preservationist Intro to my book that's almost complete.

The Preservationist is about a young man named Marcus, who is a 18 year old, fresh out of high school and working his first time job at a little coffee shop, Back in the 90s. As he works his new job he overhears two people having a conversation about an old mansion, the the locals call The Mansion On The Hill. As the conversation goes on he wants to do what he can to help safe the home he once thought was haunted and creepy, but now realizes its beauty, and goes on a quest to save the home and the steps he took along the way to do so while he still continues his young 18 year old life and daily routine.

"To the City of Rockford and the Historic Preservation Commission, this loss is a glaring failure of local governance and regulatory oversight."

Today was a tough day for everyone. We are going to use today to start a fire and move to be more proactive also being said we plan to push for stricter city ordinances to help prevent another Briggs Moving Forward. Thank you all for being a part of us and standing with us to save Rockfords Rich History. We are actively looking for volunteers to help with History Dives, Surveys of neighbors and as well as keeping an eye on the real estate market for historical homes on the market.
