Question about Mooney

[iwasthere]

the post office and now cardinal mooney shutting down or moving will have a financial impact. the sts and the teachers will be the same that for them is closer to their homes. some of them in these two grps can walk to school thus having a less carbon prt impact

Towntalk: Huh? It will still be Mooney....what difference does it make if it moves?
St.Nicholas Church is Struthers has been built in at least three different locations over time due to
various fires....and it still remained St. Nicks through the years.....
The same with Mooney....You think the bishop is going to put an end to the Mooney name,tradition,alumni, and
big donors if they move to the suburbs and have to start anew?  What you smokin? lol

First, a school is not a sports franchise, and in the case of a sports franchise it's proper.

When Chaney and East relocated it was proper since they were not only in the same school district but on the same sides of town.

Mooney on the other hand would be relocated to another town far from Youngstown. A whole new student body to serve, and no doubt a new staff of teachers.

The new Mooney should have to start from scratch and build its own record both in the classroom and in sports.

Why not? When the Browns moved to Baltimore...and the new Browns returned....all team history and records went to
the new franchise....

If Mooney in Youngstown is closed and a new Mooney is built in the western part of the diocese that would make it a new school in a different town with different students attending it, so the question is, would it have any right to lay clame to the glories and the history of the Youngstown Mooney?

I have no dog in this fight, and certainly Murray has every right to do what he wants, but given the dramatic change that would take place, it would be dead wrong for the new Mooney to lay clame to the old Mooney's history. So far as the record would be, Youngstown Mooney would be dead.
