Urban Camping while waiting for a movie.

Posted on July 10, 2009 by Brother Jonah

Like with Camp Casey/CS, remember the legal hassles? A War Memorial that’s a protest of war isn’t actually a Memorial, sez the City and the College. Thus it was a code violation, having people dwelling on a spot that was … Continue reading →

Betrayed by the at-peace community

Posted on August 7, 2008 by Eric Verlo

With “malice,” is the word the CS Indy chose. Oh boy. For our out-of-town readers, the PPJPC dirty laundry has reached the printed news. It certainly is embarrassing, but probably too, about time. I’ve spent the last two years playing … Continue reading →
