15 YEARS AGO: THE FINAL FALL FOR CARDINAL BRENNAN

The final graduating class of Cardinal Brennan began its school year right about now…15 years ago. A milestone of time.

These are the big three.. but they don’t end there.. There are countless properties like these..

So what do we do?
Where do we go from here?

Are these eyesores just going to stay where they are? Remain as they were..? relics of a time gone, and no changes coming to change then, reestablish them, or raze them?
