If the property comes up for sale, I would absolutely love to see the buildings preserved (there is the school, rectory and convent).

The trucks that come into D&W for deliveries currently use the intersection of Lakeside and Greenwood to orient their trailer to back down shopping center drive to the delivery bay.

My family and I fully support the plans proposed for the property behind DandW. We can’t wait any longer to develop that space.
