601 N. Tejon

I could not let these pass by.
They came in as comments elsewhere a while ago, but clearly deserve a thread of their own
Time to fire up the blog again:

"I read with dismay the Tidings article about McWilliams House. I first saw the "scaffolding" on Christmas Eve. It used to be that (this) church was a good neighbor, looks like CANA is becoming a blight on the neighborhood. Perhaps they're trying to get an urban renewal grant, which they can then use to pay their lawyers to delay delay delay........."

and

"How precious. According to Wroblewski in CANA's latest court filings, they are letting the front deck on McWilliam's House fall down so that the homeless and vagrants won't sleep there. Sounds like that new NBC show, "Live from Tejon Street, its Sunday Morning"........"

After all of the secessionist hand-wringing over the ability of the Episcopalians to manage property (irrelevant, Dareleen, to the pending cases, by the way...even legally-illiterate-I can see that much in the padded volumes your group has filed so far, including your poorly conceived affidavit), now we have this. The condition of McWilliams House is a disGrace/CANA.
I can feel the embarrassment all the way over here and it must be EXCRUCIATING being over there, Jon.

I suppose this is what we could expect, since property management has NEVER been a strong point of the secessionist group (case in point: divestiture of the adjacent properties on Willamette Ave. to cover up other management shortcomings).
Two wrongs did not make a right in that case...just made them look even more foolish in light of the current circumstances.
