St. Christopher’s Takes Down Houses for Parking
The Times-Dispatch reported today on St. Christopher’s School tearing down three houses to make room for a parking area. For me, the most interesting part of the story is the comment at the bottom (and that the T-D didn’t delete it!) Apparently, the headline (title) originally was contrary to the text of the article:
The rather sensationalist title “School to pave West End area, put up a parking lot” seems to directly contradict the text of the article, which states in the second to last paragraph that the site will NOT be paved. I suggest a correction to the headline of the article.
As the comment points out, St. Christopher’s is taking a surprising (to me) approach of not actually paving the lot. According the the story it will either be grass or pebbles with landscaping. While it is sad that St. Chris had to tear down three houses to park cars, in my opinion, it is great that they were willing to not pave the lot to keep a more park-like appearance.
