Review of Destroy It To Save It

Destroy It To Save It is full of sounds and memories. The Supreme Court of the 1950s made an activist decision which perhaps only King Solomon could render - to demolish a community to improve it. The people in this piece, while voicing that progress is good, also showed regret in remembering a time that has faded into memory. The news clips and music from the 50s lended flavor to the piece, and the interviewees' reminisces were enjoyable to listen to.
