However, the ACTUAL building shown does not reveal the fact that it actually is only one side of the large "L" that goes along the railroad tracks, nor does it show the extended Church St. entrance. Or the parking lot that will will be paved up to the church doors and eliminate the existing mature trees. Perhaps if the public and neighbors saw what actually is planned for the entrance to their town, they might come out and voice their opposition to what their elected officials have allowed Evans to pursue. And do they really believe the final result will look anything like the drawing? Wrong!! It will look exactly like the prison facade across Starr St. Remember the architect drawings of that building when it was proposed more than 20 years ago? What happened to the trees and bushes planned in the islands of that parking lot? The apathy of the neighbors, save for one or two dedicated souls, has allowed this project to continue.

So sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
