City Methodist Church has significant historical value to the City of Gary. The Church's roots are intertwined with those of the City itself, as Judge Gary donated the land that the church was built on and the organ which would be installed in the Church. For nearly one hundred years, CMC has been an iconic part of Gary's skyline, and must be preserved. Even if it cannot be a fully functional church again, it would be of great importance to the City of Gary for the building to be preserved in some way, whether that be a ruins garden, a community center, etc., that way City Church can function in the way that it was originally intended to, as a place for the community to gather. If the City decides to level City Church, future generations would have no idea of the impact of the congregation on the great City of Gary, Indiana.
Soli Deo Gloria
The Gary supported: Preserve the City Methodist Church: Transforming History into a Ruins GardenThere was once a time, where people built this beautiful place, it’s a church, a home to spirits. It should stay up because it was love that finished that building—greed or hate comes out from destroying it. Say you had a home to leave, you can’t let it go because all the memories in it. It’s abandoned others say but it’s still home to you, so don’t demolish it.
Cecelia supported: Preserve the City Methodist Church: Transforming History into a Ruins GardenPlease help spare this important work of architecture. It truly is a rare example of South Texan, Mexican/American Brutalism. One of the last great structures of HemisFair ‘68. Let’s not let downtown be a skyline of sports venues and Margarita bars.
William supported: Save the Institute of Texan Cultures Building!It is important to learn about and care for our culture and communities. This is what the ITC has done for me, my family, and many children of San Antonio. I have faith that this is also still a mission of UTSA and hope ITC will be preserved as part of this shared community spirit.
Abigail supported: Save the Institute of Texan Cultures Building!This is more than a historic building. This was a museum sharing the cultures and histories of the various ethnic groups that make up the early history of San Antonio. The common history shared by all of us who live here. A unique experience that will be lost to future generations. It's not always about making more money. Not everyone is a sports fan.
Jean supported: Save the Institute of Texan Cultures Building!Historic buildings give a community character and a visible connection to past generations. Rather than looking back and realizing the building could have been saved, why not figure out a way to do that now.
Claire supported: Save Historic Eastern High School while Supporting a Mental Health FacilityWhen does progress stop? If we tear everything down in the name of progress doesn’t this stop history? Just how much is UofM Sparrow going to take from the old BTS/Eastern complex? Does this mean the field house, ball diamonds, and football field too? What is going to happen to St. Lawrence hospital, also owned by Sparrow? Yes, I am an alumni from Eastern and have many memories from a very young age. Many of my relatives were graduates from this building and my own father worked in this build long for many years. If other structures from this great State of Michigan can be saved and preserved whey can’t Eastern? Seems to me, the smart choice for a mental hospital would be to use the parking structure next to the main hospital and build a much larger parking lot behind the main hospital where Eastern’s previous football field was before Sparrow forced that to close on the 60’s.
Steven supported: Save Historic Eastern High School while Supporting a Mental Health FacilityI live in this neighborhood and walk by old Eastern. It is part of the character of the neighborhood. In no way does wanting to save it indicate that someone is unconcerned with mental health, and that's a fallacious assertion that keeps going around. The only way it would be valid, is if that were the ONLY possible place to put a mental health facility.
Heather supported: Save Historic Eastern High School while Supporting a Mental Health FacilityI care about this issue because I grew up in Lansing Michigan and my older brothers all went to Eastern High school and so did my son and me. I have never felt good in a school like I did in Eastern High school.
