Urban Rats, a San Francisco political agit-prop group in the early 1980s, carried on an active campaign over the Gartland Pit, targeting especially the Reverend Floyd Andrews, a shyster preacher running the Christian Spiritualist Church of America at 635 Dolores St. He had plans to develop the site as a home for women with drug problems (who would then work for the Reverend's church, while turning over their various support payments to him).
