It breaks my heart that this will be torn down to make apartments. If the people this space is being designed for knew its history, would they still want to live there?

I think it looks like a church spire: albeit a rather bleak one. Old school Puritan or unbending Calvinist, take your pick. Striking, though.

Venessa, I agree. Instead we're going to get another batch of "high rise luxury apartments". As the construction company described them they have like 8 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms each, cathedral ceilings, fireplaces, blah blah blah. Talk about 6% of the wealth controlling 94% of the poor!

I know, Kate. Talk about asking a lot....don't get attached...my butt. I haven't seen my girls for a long time, and I still think of them, and keep up with their progress. Good Luck with your book. Happy Thanksgiving to the asshats of the K.S. or whatever we decided to call ourselves!

Twug- There's no way you CAN'T get attached. I love these kids like they're my own. My first kid that got discharged, I took over as her visiting resource and she's coming home with me for XMas! You have to love them to be able to do anything for them.

I'll keep everyone posted on the progress of the book. So far so good!
