WE HAD IT FIRST, REALLY

I was bummed this morning when I saw the DMN’s front-page Metro story on the mosaic at St. Ann’s, soon to be a focal point of what will be St. Ann’s Court, a Harwood International office tower.  This week’s Real Estate story by Paige Phelps (which went to press Friday, just FYI) features a different take on the subject, focusing on the involvement of PC’s own Gabriel Barbier-Mueller in the project and the positive steps taken by Harwood to placate and work with the St. Ann’s alumni group and those with ties to the former Catholic school site. In our story, Juanita Barrera, the first graduate of St. Ann’s Commercial High School, had this to say about Harwood’s efforts:

“I feel now that [Harwood] did something good to at least keep the name of the school and keep the Virgin Mary that was in front of the high school because we’re going to have something to remember where we used to go.”
