Very BLACK Monday
Confirmed: a pair of particularly nasty storylines converge today as demolitions begin on "site 9A" properties, stolen from the community by LAUSD, and the demolition of one of the Foursquare Church's apartment buildings. The church's Spanish-style apartments, a bungalow court on Glendale Blvd., are now a pile of rubble. Soon to be a parking structure, if the Angeles Temple gets its way.
My post earlier today implied the complex was on Lakeshore. That was Chicken Corner's cluck-lexia, imagining Joe's description of the area backward. They're on Glendale. Or they were.
