The city council voted 5-2 last night to allow the Family Life Church to remove the masonic compass and square icon in the pediment of the building, as well as the masonic cornerstone. Michael Powers and John Steffen voted against it.
Unfortunately I missed the Committee of the Whole meeting, which had some interesting things on their agenda this evening:
a DOJ grant for surveillance and recording systems–what is that all about?
consideration of appeal for a denied permit to remove masonic symbols from the old masonic temple–an important landmark, now the Family Life Church
$250K $40K to Rodney […]
Sidewalk construction outside Elks Lodge…
It looks like this gave the old Elks Lodge owners the opportunity to finally do that last bit of renovation on the south side of the building, getting rid of that nasty old entranceway. Let’s see how they choose to deal with the retaining wall.
I first mentioned this idea two years ago, and I thought since Judson College is now Judson University and the DC Cook building is no longer in imminent danger of being converted into some sort of residential development, I might put this idea out again and see what others think.
The idea is for a foot […]
