What to do with a church for sale in Chicago's western suburbs
Today I noticed a church for sale in the western suburbs of Chicago. I started thinking about what to do with the property and building. I've read about churches being converted to homes, office spaces, breweries, bookstores, etc. Most of those sound great for an urban location, but I'm not so sure about the burbs. I also realize zoning is an issue to be dealt with along with making sure the structure is up to code. Does anyone have any interesting ideas?
