I cannot bring myself to watch the demolition. Like so, so many other people, I have such great memories of the Putnam. It will be part of DeLand for us forever.
Back then, it seemed like the only place in DeLand for young people to hear music, dance and socially engaged with eachother and provided wonderful memories.
