Zoning Hearing for Southern Funeral Home is Tomorrow

Southern Funeral Home

Tomorrow, Wednesday January 18th at 1:30 pm in room 208 of City Hall is the hearing at which General Dollar is requesting a zoning variance to construct a new store at 6322 S. Grand just north of Carondelet Park. The proposed General Dollar store would result in the demolition of the Southern Funeral Home building.


Please come to the hearing if you can and testify that this zoning variance should be denied. We don't need to lose this beautiful structure for another faceless retail box behind a parking lot! If you cannot make it to the hearing, please email Alderman Tom Villa to express you thoughts on this proposal.

Trade this lovely building for another "Dollar" store is just plain dumb.

Oh Gawd, NO. I no longer live there, but i used to live about 2 blocks away from this. I hope this proposal has been quashed.
