Hey just wanna commend you on your hard work. Thank you for taking the time to do all the research that helps reverse the collateral damage that occurs sometimes.

[image] Papadragon91: collateral damage I think this is a harsh assessment, as there is a preschool on the grounds. Someone may have thought that the churches (yes, both were removed) were in the same building as the preschool. The locations of each was worked out in the thread linked in th…
