A couple of thoughts on the City Council meeting and the 10-2 vote on CVS Pharmacy that allows the Union Avenue United Methodist Church to be demolished and the drug store to be built.
First, a big turnout, with the council chamber roughly two thirds full. Lots of supporters of CVS with their “Jobs” stickers and lots of preservation supporters with their own stickers. It’s only a drug store, some might say (including me), but this issue touched people in a way that got them involved and passionate enough to come to a long meeting.
