Heaven's Gate?
I know this isn't nearly as important as the jet fuel line they are threatening to put through our neighborhoods (see Tommy's Blog); but what the hell is going on at the De La Saron church at 5127 N. Florida Ave.? Having most recently had a stop work order plastered on their front window for months -- for non-permited construction -- now they have put up a chain link fence, ala the thought process of their nearby neighbor S.H.I.P.
They are in the historic district -- and I'm not sure on set backs and so forth -- but I think this is irresponsible at best; but most likely just plain stupid.
I know it's hard to see in this picture, my apologies (camera phone at night time).
For those naysayers, please keep in mind that this is the same church that parks a big, white semi-truck behind it. Jesus first came into town on a slow mule, but next time he's coming in hammer-down driving a Mack Truck!
Tax-free parking for semis in the name of the Lord!
This city needs its arm twisted to allow parking for a restaurant. Then strong-arms restaurants to change the shape of their windows. But then allows these type of actions from our fly-by-night churches. Priorities, priorities ...

This site has been cited by Code in the last 2 weeks for the chain link fence and other violations. I agree, it needs to clean up its act.
whew the new people are like top-cops. Have you seen all the semis parked by the dogtrack at night??? there must be OVER ONE HUNDRED. Right by the new restaurant we're all so proud of...
Yes, it's ugly. However, it's private property and the owner has given them permission to park there so the city can't do much about it. Maybe we should mail the property owner and tell them how much we hate it.
