[Vision2020] Unfriendly Church

[Craine Kit]

The CROSSing church was in the Eastside Market Place for a while, in  
the space was the north end of Sears and most recently was a  
furniture store. Apparently they had no problem being within 300 feet  
of a Mexican resturant that served beer, wine, and hard liquor.
