It's been in the dream for years. We've seen thousands and thousands of teens in the community who desperately need a great, safe place to gather and make friends and connect with God and each other.

The county has never dealt with that community in good faith.

Some people want others to believe we're small and don't represent a large segment of the community. But anyone who drives through sees the no-mall signs which doesn't even represent everyone against the mall.

We should not have drug laws or a court system that disproportionately punishes the black community.

...A community needs a soul if it is to become a true home for human beings. You, the people must git it this soul.

It caused a hardship on the whole community.
