Better Savannah Episode 42: The Weeping Time and Crime Vigil

<p>John has been attending the Weeping Time Sundays meetings at Solomon Temple Church on Augusta Ave. The number has been growing, boosted in large part after Anne Bailey's recent presentation detailing the importance of the site.</p><p>There are some unfortunate long pauses in this recording as john was remoting in and out of the broadcast. Please forgive us as this was a welcomed detour from our regularly schedule programming.</p><p>City Alderwomen have faithfully attended these Sunday meetings keeping the community's spirits raised up and hopeful. The public is encouraged to attend every Sunday at 2005 Augusta Ave, Savannah, GA 31415. Meetings are one hour and it’s so great to have a diverse group in attendance. </p><p>Basically, there are dozens of appropriate places the Salvation Army can build their transitional center but there’s only ONE Weeping Time location.</p><p>One location is mind numbing and that’s on Bee Road where the Salvation Army already owns 8 acres of undeveloped land and an additional contiguous acre is owned by the city also raw undeveloped land. Why build a transitional center that’s miles farther away from core important services that the Salvation Army’s clients so heavily rely on?</p><p>To date the Salvation Army and the City have been silent on this question...</p><p>John is live at the Vigil</p><p>***Housekeeping***</p><p>John and Chuck are going on back to back vacations soon and are pre-recording episodes for the next few weeks.
