Read this and reminisced. I wish that The Queens Crapper would start up her blog again... railing against bioswales, paved front yards and Fedder buildings.

I think it’s great that the energy that was there back in 2008 to have the church rebuilt seems to be back in the ethos of the community. I look forward to discussing this landmark tomorrow and hope that we can all come together as a community.
