$130 M Project With Unexpected Sunlight Takes Shape
Sunliight beemed on the old Sanctuary when the dust settled |
The new buildings take shape on the downtown campus. |
It is surrounded by only the width of a street by 30,40,50 and 60 story buildings. Needless to say, deep shadows covered the original church building for decades.Less than a year ago, First Baptist announced that they were building a One Hundred Thirty Million Dollar campus and that the old buildings that they were now in service by the church would be demolished by Alfred Nobel's nobel invention (except for the original Sanctuary).
The day of the demolition crowds gathered in nearby buildings to watch. When the dust settled, sunlight, not seen in decades was shinning on the old sanctuary. Everyone was in awe.
The image of the old Sanctuary where the crane is located was so close to one of the buildings that it was left to be torn down manually after the demolition and in the image shows that it is now gone.
The image of the semi circle is part of the new construction and ties into all the remaining buildings that are in use by the church. When complete it will add to the overall beautification of the city of Dallas and shows the church's commitment to the downtown area for years to come. So many churches move out of the downtown area in cities throughout the US, but those that choose to stay show many tens of thousands more what true leadership looks like.

General Aviation
General Aviation has its ups and downs. [ (C) dallaspaparazzo.com ] [R] All puns aside, general aviation is a great business. So, I have designed a few business products for general aviation use. They will soon appear in the store section. If you are a fixed base operatror,manage a flight school or operate a general aviation service and would like to know more, email the blog. There is an actual US Postage stamp in the works on the Zazzle brand for general aviation. If it gets approved, we'll let everone know.
