GLASTONBURY

On September 21, 1938 one of the worst hurricanes to hit Connecticut left a path of destruction across the state. One of those victims was the First Church of Christ's church along Main Street. On Feb. 27, 1939, The Hartford Courant ran a story on the congregation's decision to rebuild.

The headline read: "New Church Planned In Glastonbury; Structure To Be Erected On Site Of Edifice Destroyed By Hurricane In September."

"The congregation of the First Church of Christ in Glastonbury meeting at the high school auditorium Sunday afternoon unanimously voted to build a new church on the site of the hurricane-demolished church.

The proposed church will be of the 1810 to 1825 Colonial period design with a 116-foot steeple, 40 feet shorter than the old steeple. The seating capacity of the main floor will be 276. The balcony will seat 50 and 60 more may be seated along the church aisles if necessary. The destroyed church had a seating capacity of 600.

The new church will be of brick construction and the rearranged chapels will be of brick veneer. The old church was a wooden building. A chancel wll be built in the front of the church and will be 20 feet deep.

There will be rooms for the Sunday School departments, a woman's parlor, a kitchen and men's room. The main auditorium will have a slate roof. The interior of the church will have columns four feet from the church sides to support an arched ceiling.

A large vestibule will be built in back of the pews. It will be the fifth church building since Colonial times. The style is of the same period as the Town Hall. The church was designed by Dr. Hobart Upjohn of New York City, a national authority on church building.

A third meeting house was erected in 1837 on the present site. This one was destroyed by fire on December 26, 1866. A fourth meeting house was erected on the same site within a year and was completed in 1867. The steeple was blown off by a gale in 1881 and was restored at once.

The hurricane on September 21, 1938 wrecked the last church. A spectator related that the steeple was lifted from the church and was dropped on the ridge leaving the church almost a complete wreck. A special committee was named soon after the catastrophe to plan for the future of the church.

It's been generations since a high-rise building had its debut on Broadway in downtown Los Angeles, but the skyline is finally in for a dramatic change.

A local developer hopes to transform a homely corner of the city's famed commercial corridor early next year by leveling a drab one-story retail center at 4th Street and Broadway. In its place would be a 34-story apartment skyscraper more than twice as tall as most other buildings in the historic core of downtown L.A.

To be built at a cost of nearly $150 million, the apartment and retail complex called Broadway @ 4th would house 450 units and fill in a key block in gentrifying downtown L.A., developer Izek Shomof said.

To market observers who saw the city's former elite streets of Broadway, Spring and Main become run-down and plagued by drugs and crime during the latter decades of the 20th century, it's remarkable that an extravagant upscale apartment tower would even be built in the neighborhood, much less one that would stand taller than City Hall.

"It's a new day for Broadway that large-scale construction is even proposed," said property preservationist Adrian Scott Fine, director of advocacy for the Los Angeles Conservancy. "It wouldn't have even been on anyone's mind 10 years ago."

Most buildings in the historic core date to the early 20th century. The most recent high-rise was an office tower completed at Spring and 6th streets in 1961. Soon after that, Fine said, many businesses began leaving the city's historic downtown blocks for newer office buildings on Bunker Hill and other blocks near the Harbor Freeway.

But developer Shomof has enjoyed success in recent years renovating old office buildings on nearby Spring Street and turning them into apartments served by hip restaurants, bars, nightclubs and shops.

"I have over 2,000 units with no vacancy," he said of his properties around 7th and 8th streets. "Why not go for another 450?"

Shomof recently submitted plans for Broadway @ 4th to city officials and hopes to get the go-ahead to start construction early next year. The developer and his architect face the challenge of coming up with an appropriate design for a new building in an old part of the city.

The site lies in several overlapping city land use zones where development is restricted, property consultant Hamid Behdad said. Among the zones are the Broadway Theater and Entertainment District, the Bringing Back Broadway Corridor and the Historic Preservation Review Area.

The deck cleaning specialists at Renew Crew of Northwest Arkansas are offering a limited time discount on their 3-step wood cleaning process. This Renew Crew process instantly revives most decks by gently removing dirt build-up, mold, and mildew. Over time, this grime can destroy the finish and compromise the wood of decks leading to costly repairs. While renting a power washer or hiring a standard power washing crew may seem to get the job done in the short term, these cleaning practices on a wood deck can actually do more harm than good in the long run.

With the Renew Crew 3-step wood cleaning process, the finish is preserved and the wood on the deck is sealed from exposure to more dirt build-up, mold, and mildew over time.

The first step is a foam solution which attaches itself to the dirt and mildew that is damaging to the deck. This solution removes it without the use of chlorine, which is commonly used to bleach wood and can be harmful to children, pets, and the environment.

The second step includes a rinse with a carefully calibrated power wash system that won't damage the wood and finish of the deck.

The third and final step of Renew Crew's deck cleaning service entails adding a seal of polymer, which prevents the harshness of sunshine and rain from damaging the deck. The seal also helps to maintain the appearance and protect the deck from potential harsh "in-between" cleanings by the homeowner.

Renew Crew is dedicated to keeping children, pets, and plants safe while giving aged and worn wood decks the appearance of being new. All 3 steps of Renew Crew's deck cleaning service uses only environmentally friendly cleaning solutions and gently calibrated pressure washers to renew your deck now and protect it later.

You could be forgiven for feeling a bit of dj vu while watching the Mardi Gras parade at Universal Studios, even if you haven't thrown back a hurricane or two. It's all shiny and glittery, with strands of colorful beads zipping past your head, that "Feet Don't Fail Me Now" song looping and the King Gator float at the tail end, right?

Well, not exactly.

Universal introduced three floats into the mix this year the land, sea and air models tied to the "Around the World in Eighty Days" theme. It also enhanced its traditional "jester" float.

It was decided that the jester needed to be more vivid, says show director Patrick Braillard. Universal designers consulted the artwork used to construct the float originally and proceeded with alterations. They added new bead work to the sides of the float and rearranged some of its architecture.

The archway is new, and there are fewer masks displayed.

"We kept one of the same masks, but we updated the paint treatment on it and then split the focus. Previously, there were two masks on each side," Braillard says.

The refinished product resulted in a promotion for the jester float. It now leads Universal's Mardi Gras parade.

Universal has recycled elements of past floats into this year's units too. The glowing strings from a giant guitar on a music-themed float are now used on the Set Sail float.

"We took that material and we put it on the blimp," Braillard says. "As you watch the parade, you'll actually see that blimp be lit on all of those ribs, and they will actually spin and change color."

The entire float changes colors. "It looks like one giant birthday cake," he says.
