University of Memphis' Renovations

I read a blog that was talking about the demolition on the Prescott Memorial Baptist Church. After returning from the winter break I noticed the church was torn down, but did not think much about it until now. I knew the University was expanding and renovating surrounding areas but only thought of it as a good thing. I feel the area could use some upgrades and thought this was just a start to a new and improved beginning that will come. After reading the blog I found out the church had been there for 75 years and meant a great deal to many Memphians. It is sad that something that has existed for so long has been destroyed but I feel it will be for the better. We have to get rid of old things sometimes to make room for the new. If the University sticks to their plans, I think that area will be very nice and more attractive. I was so excited to hear about the renovations Memphis plans to do in the near future and still cannot wait to see how it all turns out. I only wish all the buildings being torn down were rundown and meant nothing. It is hard to see something that has been a part of a place for so long become destroyed.
