I was brought to tears today as I passed the corner of 2nd and Evans Streets and saw the whole side of the historic Methodist church being demolished.

“It wasn't a surprise, we know it was coming. Some of us tried to stop the demolition of the church and the construction of a 4 story, 72 unit apartment building on that site, but we lost that battle. Still, seeing the actual destruction of that beloved building brought tears to my eyes.”
