It's not the oldest church, but it's quite old and being demolished by Stanton Renaissance!

How else would you like them to organize a massive amount of rough, uniquely shaped rocks that have yet to be cleaned?

It's kind of like how many suburban streets are named after what they've replaced > Appletree Ln, Bridlewood Dr, Meadowlands Blvd and on and on. Lame.

Why? It's not really different from any other old building.

I know exactly what you mean. Went to radius for lunch, and couldn't keep me eyes off of the deconstruction. Just stood at the front door, staring at it for about a minute before entering the restaurant.

Well I'm not christian if that's what you're asking.

I like old buildings plenty, but if they density is going to increase then I don't mind too much (though I wish we could get rid of 1/2-2/3 of the surface parking downtown before tearing anything down).

I don’t think that’s what was meant, and I don’t think you need to be Christian to feel uneasy seeing a once-venerated place being demolished. Seeing an old temple or synagogue being torn down isn’t preferable, either.

But who cares really. It’s just our heritage. If we really want to see old stuff, we can take a vacation in Europe.
