Driving on Sycamore, I can see a steeple just a few blocks ahead. I wonder what church is this?
As I drive up I am saddened to see the grass growing thru the sidewalk and bars on the church doors.
The cornerstone is smashed and crudely repaired. I guess that the contents were removed to a safe place when the church was closed.
Walking around to the side I see that Yahoo is not just on the Internet. What happened to this church? Was there a fire? Was it just abandoned?
As I continued I found holes in the roof and large stained glass windows were missing most of their glass, leaving the inside of the church exposed.
When I walked to the other side of the church I noticed its name 'Church of the Transfiguration'. I looked up to see sunlight now shining thru the remaining stained glass. As I was about to leave I looked once more into the empty window and there on the inside wall was a church living its name!
