After a 10 year run from February 2008 to March 2018, and the last few years only seeing sporadic updates and activity, I have decided to put this website into permanent hibernation mode. I am not deleting the site, content, comments, etc., but all features have been disabled and no new content will be posted from this point forward.
I wanted to reach out to any purchasers of units at the proposed Church Conversion project "Union Lofts" at the corner of Perth & Wallace. Check out the private group on facebook called Union Lofts Residents Discussion.
