Forgive my lack of knowledge, but isn&#039;t Tottenham Court Rd full of pubs?  That org would be better used if converted to a pub!]]></description>

I&#039;ve just studied these and and none of them bear any resemblance whatsoever to the spaces as they were completed a year later. I mean none. Also, along with these drawings is a list of safety/legal structural requirements that were being directed by the planning officer. From my recall of the spaces, few of these, if any, appear to have been acted upon. That, in addition to the fact that the Local Authority appear not to have the final approved space plans of London&#039;s Ideal Org may be an invitation for further investigation. If anyone has experience or knowledge of UK planning laws please get in touch.]]></description>

Yes, building plans and home plans are available in the U.S..   For most places.  Doubt about Hillbilly Mountain country.  You only need to go to the county recorder&#039;s web site for the city.]]></description>

Thanks Bill. Do you remember what day of the week and what part of the day it was? If you don&#039;t remember what day of the week it was, do you remember whether it was a weekday or a weekend?]]></description>

I feel the same way. Thanks to this Special Correspondent and to Mike for making this info known, but it was very sad. For me too, anything I ever worked for is long gone, 33 years of my participation annihilated. Same goes for hundreds,maybe thousands, of other dedicated, very well-intentioned staff who wanted to see people improve their lives physically, mentally and spiritually. 180 degree reversal of...everything.

Anyway...couldn&#039;t help but think that the Tottenham Court Rd Test Center looks more like a pub than a church...? But I&#039;ve never been over there so maybe that&#039;s wrong. But it&#039;s wierd.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hard to know quite what to say. I guess it&#039;s possible to feel many ways about a report like this, but I was surprised to experience a wave of great sadness. Something about that image of empty classrooms, clad in expensive marble flooring, stacked with storage boxes. So many dreams, over so many decades, so much personal sacrifice, all to come down this final scene of treachery, bad faith, and desperation.

Like Dave Fagan, I would be curious also to hear what&#039;s happening in Washington DC. I imagine the scene there is even bleaker. As great cities go, DC is little more than an insular Southern town, and the 16th St. org must get exceedingly little foot traffic.]]></description>
