Saving Merriweather Post Pavilion (2)

[weber_dubois22]

Those who agree with the idea of enclosing Merriweather believe that they can

surround the pavilion with arts and crafts village, but those against it know that the

Merriweather cannot function as a profitable venue if this were to happen.

With all the talk of the Merriweather’s fate declared as “uncertain”, I feel motivated to

help in any way I possibly can, be it through donation of money or speaking with others

about this matter directly on the Save Merriweather.com forums. As stated before,

something as old and as grand as this Pavilion shouldn’t be tossed aside for something

like housing development, especially if the chance to revitalize it is big enough to take a

risk on.

It’s easy enough to say that a person or a place has no future and condemn it, but in my

opinion, it would be harder to try and restore it to its former glory. There’s a community

of people who don’t want to see this place vanish; Save Merriweather is doing everything

within their power to get those higher up in power to hear their pleas, reconsider the plans

to rid Maryland of important landmark and it would be foolish not to listen to them.
