With all the talk about Tabor -- from the contested 2003 eminent domain claim to the now contested Public Works Garage -- editor Nicole Ball and I thought it would be interesting to explore another Tabor resident: the Tabor Lutheran Church. Back in the 1950s, the Lutheran Church located on Hopson Ave needed room to expand and made the move to what is now Tabor Drive.

Do you remember the church's location change? Were there controversies at the time? What do you know about the history of Tabor Lutheran Church?
