    Google Demolishes Presbyterian Church, do no evil?

    InformationWeek has a picture gallery of Google's data center construction in Council Bluffs, Iowa.  One interesting picture for company with the motto of do no evil is below where a Presbyterian Church will be demolished as part of the construction.  A funny point made by one blogger is do no evil  is an anagram for o no devil seems to be appropriate.

    Nearby Presbyterian Church will be demolished.

    For the curious, the reporter also has pictures of the Google The Dalles facility.

    The church actually sold to a local developer some time ago, which then sold the land to the Council Bluffs economic development agency:

    Rich - thanks for adding the extra information and background to the Church. When I read the InformationWeek captions, I figured there was more behind the story, but I couldn't find the details.
