CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Just a small piece of local good news (and frankly this city needs some), that might interest fans of Silent Hill. If you've ever seen the Silent Hill movie, you'll remember the scene with the abandoned, derelict hotel. This was actually an abandoned, derelict department store in the middle of my city's downtown. Apparently, a good place to shoot ugly, post-industrial cityscapes is here in Steeltown. Anyways, after it had been left abandoned over twenty years ago, the building has been bought up and restored (pictures not mine). As an incidental aside, the exterior of the "temple" in the movie was another local landmark; it was a cropped version of the Scottish Rite building.

Interesting. What are they going to do to the restored building?

I always love to see old buildings get restored rather than demolished.

Some retail space on the first floor, and some municipal offices above. The article also mentioned that the 1st floor will be open for events like Art Crawl, which is something I'll be looking forward to.

Same here, we've lost quite a few to neglect lately. I'm hoping things will turn around, but we'll have to wait and see.

That reminds me, I still wanna visit the town of Centralia someday.
