Downtown going to the dogs?

Edison said it's deciding to close its office off Loranger Squarei in downtown Monroe because it's not used enough. But anybody who knows anything about Monroe knows there are some diehard customers who pay their bills only in person at that office. Regardless, at the end of the month it will close its doors. What will be done with the building? Someone has suggested that it be turned over to the Humane Society, which already has an administrative office in the building.
Now I like dogs as much as the next person, but c'mon, letting the Humane Society have it would be an incredible waste of a resource that has great potential. Maybe the city of Monroe should buy the place and turn it into an employee lounge. Or maybe it could raze the building and put up that parking structure that only would serve city employees. There are a lot of ideas just as stupid if we all put on our cone-shaped thinking caps.
