It’s been almost two months since we broke the bitter news that the Tocci family was preparing to demolish St. George’s Church at the corner of Gold and York in Vinegar Hill.

I agree with Montrose somewhat. An old building looks good among the shiny condos but nobody has the $ to buy it for those uses. I hope the Tocci family uses brick to build. The building on the left is blech, ptooey ptooey.

did you call 311?
to rebuild a cathedral? the church looked sad and old it’s the last thing the poor needs.
