Meanwhile, our beautiful PS 186 languishes, crumbling and decaying, a "tribute" to greed and broken promises courtesy of the Boys and Girls Club and Convent Avenue Baptist Church. For shame!
ReplyDeleteMany church owned properties decay because churches are not forced to sell. PS 186 should be sold to a developer who will restore it and sell market rate condos to recoup the costs. The deal can include community space for responsible Harlem organizations like PS 90 has done.
ReplyDeletePeople need to write their reps and demand this before it is torn down.
Here, here! Amen to that!
