ReplyDeletere: st. marks "church bank". i could not open the video. but in saudi arabia, they put a huge bill board across from mecca. it was a gigantic armani advertisment. when they pray they can see the models...... i dont know which advertisment is there @present, im sure they rotate. also the billboards in other countries sometimes are hunrads of feet high. in your face. this time in your face w/the koran. mecca is one of the most scared places in the world. americans wake up, this is how things work. no one cares about the church. i dont know know if it has landmark status either. this commerical is an omen.
ReplyDeleteto comment again: "church bank"- this advertisment will open up "new ideas". i mean that a developer will see it & the light bulb will go off. someone really should alert the landmarks people. yes i did open the video. back to the 3rd world: ive seen this exact thing where they do turn a church into a bank or a dominos or kentucy fried. so much for catholicism. dont say "it cant happen here......" yes the commerial gave me the creeps!!!
ReplyDeleteThe banks help themselves -- to bonuses and golfing retreats and fancy dining events. I don't think that's a surprise.
ReplyDeleteI was just at the Rockaway Beach Inn last weekend, hoping it could be the new Mars Bar. The description was irresistibly divey, but in the end, it's way too clean. Immaculate. Lovely bartender, though.
