Sounds like part of this is to renovate and keep the historic black church next door. If so- cudos…
that’s very wishful thinking on your part, do you have any inside info?
Destroy this low rise and destroy the character of the historic church next door.
If you check the blog W42ST, you’ll see the an article that explains that the church is being saved and restored. Only the rectory is being torn down.
That’s very wishful thinking on your part Jonathan, but Guesser is too lazy and too afraid to admit his comment was unnecessary and could’ve been avoided if he learned to read
