I heard some promising construction-like noises coming from the direction of the condemned Shiloh Baptist Church properties this morning, but alas, it seems I was fooled by some friendly garbage men doing their normal Monday pick-ups. Since the buildings were condemned on Wednesday and the church was given orders to complete a list of repairs, including cleaning the interiors, installing new roofs, fixing brickwork and installing gutters, Shiloh has pledged to complete the work within the time frame given by the city — which expires on May 31. So far, no work has begun on the properties. Should the church fail to make repairs once again, the city will perform them and take out a lien on the properties to force Shiloh to pay for them.
