Methodist church turned into mosque in Britain

Dallas Blog | Tom Pauken:
“In the countryside town of Clitheroe, England, a former Methodist church is being turned into a mosque. ... The new mosque in Clitherore, England is expected to remain the same on the outside except for one change: 'the cross at the top will come down'. ”
Ed Cognoski responds:

Meanwhile, in other news, a Burger King in Richardson, Texas, has been turned into a PotBelly Sandwich Works restaurant. What began in 1977 as a small antique store in far-away Chicago has become a fast-growing national restaurant chain with long lines of loyal patrons stopping by to enjoy special sandwiches and homemade desserts. While attendance at the remaining Burger Kings continues to decline and the average age of patrons rises, Potbelly restaurants are well-attended by youthful enthusiasts. Potbelly influence is growing. Richardson may continue to regard itself as a burger community, but Potbelly patrons are likely to outnumber burger eaters in several decades, according to a recent survey by the Beef Council. The new Potbelly Sandwich Works is expected to remain the same on the outside except for one change: "that cartoonish robed king mascot will come down."

P.S. A link to this article was added as a reference to Tom Pauken's story on Dallas Blog. The link was deleted in minutes. Apparently, burger eaters don't have a sense of humor. ;-)
