I think you're thinking of CBC on Norton. BBC on Kearney as far as I know is still operational. CBC is owned by Assemblies of God and they haven't been able to find a buyer. It's very much abandoned

Pipedream for sure, but I wish the city or some non-profit would buy that land and use it for shelters, self-improvement programs for at-risk individuals, community lecture space, etc. Or at least a more interesting cult.

Absolutely they should. There are already dorms, classrooms, etc. You could have people help take care of the property in exchange for living there to make the "gotta earn it" folks happy. There's already a huge homeless camp just down the road from there so what's the difference giving them better shelter and opportunities?

It's too bad the city and the assemblies of God can't come together and make a massive homeless shelter, children's center, food service, hair care, showers, rehabilitation Center for the unhoused.
