Downtown Changes?

A hotel is proposed to be built on top of half of the parking lot which sits on the corner of Cathedral Place and St. George Street. The first floor would be commercial/retail space. If that hotel is built, it would wipe out about 30 parking spaces used by Cathedral parishioners.

Bishop Gagleone sent the St. Augustine Mayor a letter urging him to reconsider the building proposal on the bank's property because of the parking issue. A spokesman for the church stated

" People who come to our church may feel they need to leave if they don't have close parking spaces. We might lose some of our base."

That last statement, oh boy, fill in your own response here are some already sent to us:

"Your Excellency , All your base are belong to us"

"They paved paradise and put up a parking lot,With a pink hotel, a boutique, And a swinging hot spot."

First, the Mayor gets a polite warning call from Tom Hagen , then Tessio comes with gifts, no luck there, then Mayor Boles gets a severed gator head in his bed! The architect Chrichlow drops out after a phone call saying, "Remember Moe Green?" Bishop Gagleone has clout beyond Rome!

The Episcopal Church on the other side of the Plaza are offering special new converts free parking and Château Mouton-Rothschild in their services.

Everybody knows that this is an old colonial graveyard and the owner is dumping the property for a song. "You son of a bitch, you left the bodies and you only moved the head stones. You only moved the head stones. Why? Why?"

Local watchdog B.J.Kalady was right all along......the hotel is a front for an "adult club" called Skanks!
