An Inclusive Litany

7/27/93

Barkeepers in a Chicago suburb asked for a zoning change which would keep the Christ Community Church from moving into their neighborhood. Johnny Vasas, owner of a local bar, insists that the street chosen by the church has always been a "business street," and this is how the local bar owners want to keep it. The bar owners insist that putting a church on the same street as "fine establishments" such as the Grapevine Lounge and the Little Brown Jug would "destroy the ambience of the area."
