I do indeed hope I'm wrong in my assumptions. I would MUCH rather write a conciliatory blog post admitting my mistake than have to fight yet another fight to keep a valuable piece of my community from winding up in a landfill.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I cannot think of a time when I sounded the alarm over a pending demolition only to find myself playing the part of Chicken Little. In any case, the Old Highland list serve posted that there will be a community meeting on this topic on August 4th. We'll find out more there, if nothing else.Jeff Skreneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597476540441866248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382985764534737174.post-9200738980439960782014-07-25T22:05:19.223-05:002014-07-25T22:05:19.223-05:00There were numerous buildings on the MPS site that...There were numerous buildings on the MPS site that got torn down and that I only found out about after it was too late to do anything about it. Chalk up my silence at that time more as a result of a lack of understanding about the demolition issue, and inexperience about how to be more proactive about it. But I would not consider my own lack of commentary at the time as being "okay" with it.Jeff Skreneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597476540441866248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382985764534737174.post-59600979271115214722014-07-25T22:02:57.988-05:002014-07-25T22:02:57.988-05:00The pics were posted on the Old North Minneapolis ...The pics were posted on the Old North Minneapolis Facebook page.Jeff Skreneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597476540441866248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382985764534737174.post-78301611215741234582014-07-23T13:27:00.847-05:002014-07-23T13:27:00.847-05:00Once again Mr. Skrenes you have published YOUR vie...Once again Mr. Skrenes you have published YOUR viewpoint based on YOUR assumptions. Perhaps before you get your shorts in a tighter knot you might call the parish office and ask if the pastor is willing to speak or meet with you.

It seems the highest and best use of the property for the greater community is not being served here, and it's too bad church members are not speaking up against it as well. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
