If the NK Centre does go ahe...Hi Sharon,<br /> If the NK Centre does go ahead,I really,really hope that it won't be built near the siege site.I think it would ruin the whole feel of the area if such a place was on the actual site.It would be far better to have it on the other side of the railway track.I would hate to see Glenrowan turned into a complete theme park.It is too special a place & is already built up enough around the actual siege area.Lisanoreply@blogger.com
