Pulse Nightclub, Scene of Orlando Massacre, to Become Eternal Memorial
The Orlando nightclub where a gunman massacred dozens in June will be turned into a city-owned memorial, officials said Tuesday.
The Pulse, a popular queer gathering spot, will be purchased by Orlando for $2.25 million, but there aren't specific plans on how long the transformation will take or what the site will ultimately look like. The site, however, will no longer be used as a nightclub.

The deal also needs to be approved by the City Council and leave through a review process.
The entire project could grab more than a year, officials added.

With the City owning the property, we can participate in a public process to determine the future of the Pulse property and building.”

He also spent some time helping out weather teams in Austin and Kansas City. He has co-hosted an entertainment show and hosted numerous show, travel and icon segments as well.

His employer called him out on a couple of his recent posts on social media.
"I really wasn't even thinking about it at the period, that it would be anything detrimental," said Keith Kozak.
The Brooklyn man was an outreach minister for the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland. Kozak held the position at a local university up until last week.
"Really feels discouraging that this is still happening," said Kozak.
According to Kozak, he was called into a meeting and questioned about photos from two same-sex weddings. "I never posted anything, that in my opinion, would've been controversial in any way," said Kozak.
Kozak was in the process of interviewing for a promotion within the Diocese. "When they called me in, I was thinking it had something to do with that," said Kozak.
