I hung out at this corner for over 2 hours last night with the rebuilders, and even though, yes, they were just re-boarding up the property, the community spirit was alive. <br /><br />I certainly hope someone who cares about history, aesthetics, and scale buys this place and builds on it - but until then I am grateful for the current owners who stayed up till 1:30AM building and painting so we wouldn't have an exposed hole in the ground.David Garberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00514522127258982490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064659105461495134.post-39500937587454957672009-07-31T11:12:42.686-04:002009-07-31T11:12:42.686-04:00Do not count on it The Adcoc8te, that particular c...Do not count on it The Adcoc8te, that particular church owns many direlect properties in that area.
