With Pobre Panchos set to be preserved as a landmark, we wonder: What former Fort Collins landmarks do you miss most?
Coloradoan Conversations is the Coloradoan's opinion forum. Each Friday we'll pose conversation-starting questions online at Coloradoan.com/opinion and moderate online discussion through the following Wednesday, recapping the best discussion points online the following Friday and in Sunday's printed edition.
This week's Coloradoan Conversation Starter:

So this week we ask: What former landmarks, gathering spots or special spaces in Fort Collins do you miss most? Which other places of cultural or historic significance should be preserved?
