John, can't recall if I've asked this before, but did the city actually tear down any of the Armory or just enclose part of it for the Marketplace food court?

Paul, the Armory is still there. The six street market place was torn down from Marshall to Grace. The last time I was by there where the food court was is still there. This may change soon.
Reliance, sometimes in this business you have to do what you have to do. When I rode the car, I seldom operated the MDC unless it was marking responding or back in service, if I was disregarded. Other times I was usually sitting still so I could operate it without being moving or putting anyone in danger.
Just like the communications operator or company officer calling you, you have to pick up the microphone to communicate back.
Always being careful.
