Here it is the end of the month. At work, they have assigned us a report that tells what we have done for the previous month. What better time to blog? I must be avoiding something.
About a month ago, I drove down my street toward the nicer part of town and noticed that my street had been cut off about 2 blocks down from my house. I almost never travel this way so there is no telling how long the street had been torn up. At first, I thought nothing of it, but the place where it is torn up is right by the uber conservative church down the road from my house. Apparently, the church has taken it upon themselves to acquire that part of the road for extra parking.
This has really gotten by blood boiling. When I bought my house a little over 2 years ago, I said that as long as I was closer to the nicer part of the neighborhood I didn't mind living where I lived. Well now, the church has decided to CUT me off from the rest of my avenue. Must be nice to just take over a road. I wonder how many members of the church are working with the city. I just don't understand how they can do that without letting the neighborhood know. I don't remember hearing anything about the construction. What do you think about this? Have our voices been silenced? Life sure is different these days. Sometimes I wish that I wasn't so aware of the way things used to be. Why can't I be a normal member of the X generation?

So sorry that you are cutt of Cary! Does the church own that property? I agree that it would probably have been nice to have been informed about this. But, look at it this way....more parking for people at the church...I guess, if you want to look at the brighter side?? Hope everything else is well with you!
I'm going to look into this from a property perspective and get back to you. How were the houses in the area affected? Are they all still there? Do you have any idea if the church owns any of them?
I don't see how a church, who is tax exempt, is allowed to take over a street whose upkeep and maintenance has been paid for by your tax dollars. I think it is unbelievable that the residents in the area where not afforded any sort of say in the matter. I hope that we are missing something because this looks terribly wrong at first glance.
