Mary Help of Christians: 'This is heartbreaking'


[Bobby Williams]

The Post has a piece today on several NYC churches that are facing possible demolition... including Mary Help of Christians Catholic Church on East 12th Street, which developer Douglas Steiner is razing to build a residential-retail complex ... the story doesn't offer any new information... but people are remaining hopeful.

“This is heartbreaking,” said Andrew Berman, executive director of the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation. “We hope [Steiner] can see the light and realize it’s advantageous to use something that’s special rather than demolishing it for something that’s a dime a dozen.”

Meanwhile, the Post employed three reporters to investigate local bars that aren't selling full pints of beer.
