Still, they held memories. When all's said and done, we're talking about shells that hold memories. The shells in themselves are less important than the people and memories they held.

Strangely though, both of Greg's grammar schools became expensive condominiums. <br /><br />It became very posh to live in that part of the city and these old schools gave it a unique twist.
