One of the saddest lists to be issued annual is the National Trust for 
Historic Preservation's annual list of the country's most endangered places. Some are considered obsolete, in need upgrading or replacing. Sometimes historic places are falling apart due to remoteness, neglect and a lack of money or caring to maintain them. Sometimes it's just the opposite because the land is deemed more valuable to developers than as a physical link to our past. Here are the 11 most endangered places on the 2009 list -- the Trust's 22nd annual list:
Century Plaza Hotel - Los Angeles (right)
Miami Marine Stadium - Miami
Dorchester Academy- Midway, Georgia
Lāna'i City - Lanai, Hawaii
Unity Temple - Oak Park, Illinois
Ames Shovel Shops - Easton, Massachusetts
Memorial Bridge- between Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Kittery, Maine
Mount Taylor - Grants, New Mexico
Human Services Center - Yankton, Sout Dakota
Cast-Iron Architecture - Galveston, Texas
The Manhattan Project's Enola Gay Hangar -Wendover, Utah
