By "church" I mean "christian places of worship". I'm not counting the nearby synagogue or mosque in my reckoning.
On my block: A Catholic church.
Up the hill: A Lutheran church, and the former Mormon temple
Up the hill and down the street: An Episcopal church
Down the hill: At least two storefront churches within two blocks.
Down the hill and to the right: A Baptist church, LOUD preaching.
Down that hill: CHURCHMANIA. Loud singing from the Pentecostals, altar-boys going from church to church, churces on top of stores, churches inside old movie theaters and warehouses, churches inside other churches, churches that don't announce their prescence in any way but are STILL THERE.
If you live in my neighborhood, and are even marginally religious, you better go to church, because with all that hinting, I think God'll take it personally if you don't.
I always knew there were a lot, but this is like some sorta explosion. I think they've multiplied in the past few years since I went down that way by the old Woolworth's.

Date: 2004-03-08 10:02 am (UTC)I don't really know why they are concentrated in such a small area; with synagogues there is actually a reason for having a lot of them, the more Orthodox Jews are not permitted to drive on the Sabbath, which means they have to walk to synagogue.
