Summary by Ground News

Linda Dunegan believes divine intervention played a hand in transforming the building that housed Fantasies on 5th into the start-up Open Door Baptist Church. The church has replaced a strip club that used to beckon people off the highway. Pastor Kenny Menendez hopes that the church - also situated between a marijuana retail store and downtrodden motels - could be a start to improving the neighborhood.
