There really are not very many that would qualify as such, and you don't see this spire driving north on Georgia so much as the one at the corner of Georgia and Plyers Mill. As for "harbingers", the last thing we need is a bunch of useless churches lying around empty as their congregations dwindle. We need to use our land to the extent of its present value and a church was clearly not the best use. Along those lines, many churches in the area are turning to developers to knock down their old, useless buildings in favor of mixed-used projects that incorporate a worship space within in an effort to maintain their presence in the neighborhoods.
