Been lurking for a long time, but figured I'd chime in since I live by there.
Theres a few strip clubs, couple of fast food places, few office buildings and thats it. Its not that special of a neighborhood and I don't mean it in any demeaning sense at all, i used to hang out around there in college.
The local community convened a few meetings and even though there were both sides of the opposition present, they still voted to allow them to move in.
So if the people that have to live with it are okay with having a mosque there, what right does anyone else have in saying they shouldn't build it there?
The real tragedy and the shit that really pisses me off is how no one is discussing how fucking embarrassing it is that we still haven't built a memorial. 9 years of bullshit from the state house and nonsense competitions. It irritates me when I see people taking pictures of the site because its been way too long and they should be taking pictures of some kind of memorial.
There has been progress though...
I can't post URLS but you can look up the progress on the memorial site through google.
