I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

1. GETHAV_081214_086.JPG: This is the old Cyclorama building. The plan is for it to be torn down now that the new visitor center is built but there's some controversy because it's a historic landmark. From http://www.yorkblog.com/yorktownsquare/2008/11/cyclormam.html Two developers have plans for a relocated Gettysburg Cyclorama building By Jim McClure on November 9, 2008 5:22 AM National Park Service officials will wait to demolish the old Gettysburg Cyclorama building until a court rules on its fate. A preservation group, Recent Past Preservation Network, has taken the government to court over plans to knock down the familiar round building that housed the Cyclorama from 1961 until recent years. The circular painting, moved to the new Gettysburg visitors center, was opened to the public in September. According to news reports, the preservation group thinks the park service should explore alternatives before demolition. The park service maintains it sought all such options in 1999 in preparing a plan for the park. One wonders what the hurry is to demoliish the building... . That's particularly so after news recently that two new options have been put forth. A new home could await the old building on Steinwehr Avenue or at Gateway Gettysburg. Two Gettysburg businessmen say they are open to the idea of relocating the building - which until recently housed the famous Cyclorama painting - on their properties. According to news reports, Eric Uberman said he has about three acres on Steinwehr Avenue near the American Civil War Museum that could serve as a future site for the relocated Cyclorama building. Gateway Gettysburg is a hotel and convention complex owned by Bob Monahan near routes 30 and 15, east of Gettysburg. Court records show that the Cyclorama building, designed by famed architect Richard Neutra, could be moved using "dolly wheels and a grid of steel beams." The park has plans to restore Ziegler's Grove, site of the Cyclorama building and the neighboring former visitor center, to its 1863 Civil War appearance. Ziegler's Grove has not looked its 1863 self for decades. A few more months that would allow other plans to develop for the building won't matter. The park service should sit on the keys to the bulldozer a bit longer. Some groups want the old Electric Map, too.
