Much a pew about nothing
MARS — Magic was not part of the council agenda at a meeting earlier this week.
“I’m done pulling rabbits out of our hat to fund this stuff,” said council president Mike Fleming Monday, July 10 in regards to the future of the vacant Dutilh United Methodist Church at 532 Pittsburgh St.
The vacant church was the topic of several discussions during Monday’s, July 11, council meeting. From a proposal to turn the building into a community center to selling the building, nothing was off-limits — or decided — when it came to the future of the old church.
