Last week saw an historic operation on Main Street. All morning Thursday spectators gathered, some in lawn chairs, in anticipation of the removal of Emanuel Church’s steeple. Although there was a delay due to downpour, by early afternoon skies had cleared enough to continue work and when the steeple was lifted into the air, a cheer went up from the now large crowd that could be heard many blocks away.

To learn more about why it happened, please review last week's article about the steeple repairs. To see the engineering feat, scroll down for pictures.IMG_1424 IMG_1435 IMG_1433 IMG_1432
