Maple Street
Here's a closer look at the Maple Street Townhomes' first unit under construction. This is the north east corner of 4th and Maple. The top picture is from the sidewalk looking east. There is a legend board constructed which displays the various bricks and colors and siding materials. The V3 website is on the left.
The bottom Picture was taken beside the legend display looking west towards maple street. A trolley was going by. See how close? I can't wait, it will be so neat!
The church across the street is the old First Presbyterian formed in the 1800's. I think it has a dozen or so die hard members which still attend. I was born into the Presbyterian Church but I have quit it. I felt like it was more a country club and I was not a welcomed member. Too bad, I loved singing to old hymns. I just can't go along with a theology based in guilt. God is love and all powerful. God defies being defined in such pitiful ways as church dogma. Maybe the Presbyterian Church here can also experience the thrill of restoration to relevance. (And that's all I have to say about that.)
