The bldg in the center of the pic is my fav bldg-façade in Clarksburg, and if I were in charge the United Nations would be enforcing a Protected Viewscape @ this spot, and nobody could do anything to change anything no matter how hard they tried to pray to whomever. The grass could get mowed weekly but everything else would be a "UN-666 Permanently Protected Viewscape, Class XVII-B9" or whatever.
