Well I rather have a atmosphere where we can actually talk and hear each other versus just drinking and listening and trashy music. But I also know some people that get impressed with artist paintings that they did not paint.

Check out the prayer garden at the Basilica. It is locked about 100% of the time to keep the homeless people out. Pretty sure that’s how this will end up.

It will also decimate this block, with buildings being retained on either end and the middle buildings gone. It is a contiguous block of houses so not sure the block will make sense without the entire row.

Plus, the majority of the people who are members of this congregation come in from the county and don’t care what happens in the city.

Also, there is a reason that this this row is still standing and it’s because the design of this row exists nowhere else in the city and it’s architecturally significant

Our flag was put at half mast for the death of the leader of a BUNCH of America’s closest allies, a leader who had stuck with us for 70 years. Given that 1812 was 210 years ago, and we’ve fought on the same side for well over a century now, I think we’ve gotten over the original enmity and just might be close friends.

It’s a lovely way to honor someone of that status and importance to our national goals, even if they’re not American.
