Envy Apartment

ANDERSON – The developers of the Delaware Court Apartments in downtown Anderson are on track to open the facility, built in 1926, by the end of the year. The developers told the Anderson Historical & Cultural Preservation Commission on Monday that there will be a request later to install central heating and air conditioning in the building.

While there, I planned to visit the television studios and survivalist retreat (for lack of a better word) of Jim Bakker, the disgraced televangelist who had a multi-millionaire fund his ministry come back and who is now hustling survival supplies in the name of Jesus.
