Tom rightly called them out as being just another anti-Wal-Mart group and PARD was trying to appear as a genuine local, grassroots community organization. The Foursquare Church and the Cordova were simply their props.April E.

I think it was pretty obvious that PARD's objections were aimed at the church itself, not the retail aspect, much as we have seen similar attempts to drive Christ Church and News Saint Andrews out of downtown Moscow.<BR/><BR/>When the anti-Christian aspect got widely known, PARD quickly changed the tab on their homepage called "Save the Cordova" to just "The Cordova" and sent a <A HREF="http://www.pullman-ard.org/cordova/letter_to_pastor_smith.php" REL="nofollow">letter to Pastor Smith</A> to try and control the damage.Tom Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080804561058476349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13796804.post-67126905812594215252007-08-25T20:38:00.000-07:002007-08-25T20:38:00.000-07:00We still regularly show movies in theater and they...We still regularly show movies in theater and they are all free. And yes we have a license that covers showing movies. The large screen is still there, but we use a digital projector. Just last we week ran kids movies all day Saturday for the Lentil festival.<BR/><BR/>Also the theater is NOT off the tax roles as the church does not own it - but eventually will. (Foursqure demonmination requires massive paper work:) So it is still in commercial use.<BR/><BR/>Having started the Greystone foundation I know a little about historic preservation and putting an historic building into active use regardless of a change in the type of use is MUCH preferred over destroying its character. In fact the current use might be considered more authentic as the orginal use was for silent movies and plays. So there was a live band, just like now.Bruce Heimbignerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12615394678431336846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13796804.post-2132314705921577112007-08-24T21:20:00.000-07:002007-08-24T21:20:00.000-07:00Maybe TV Reed (during his secret negotiations) can...Maybe TV Reed (during his secret negotiations) can pursuade Target to locate there. Whatever happened to Target? Or was that just another easy lie? It is getting so that when people read PARD, they see LIARS.April E.
