Save Superman's Birthplace

No, not Krypton, the house where Superman was first created needs to be saved. Here's a video about it:



It can be difficult to justify logically the historic preservation of places, but historic places have an emotional power, the ability to create a visceral connection between history and an individual. For that reason I tend to be a big fan of historic preservation, and the creation of Superman (and by extension an entire genre) seems pretty historic to me. Besides, if we can preserve the birthplaces of boring things (kidding) like Google and HP, surely we can preserve the birthplace of something cool like Superman (nerd-fight!).
