I realized recently that sadly the church at West Florissant Avenue and North Grand Boulevard is clearly vacant.
Formerly known as Water Tower Baptist Church, it had held out until recently, but judging from the windows that have blown open or are hanging by a single hinge, the telltale signs are clear.
Like much of College Hill, its future is now uncertain.
It also finally dawned on me that the lot next door is a former gas station, with the restrooms on the back of the lot and the booth was probably originally the cashier’s booth.
