Well, he didn’t go down but he looked like he might. This was pretty random as he was by himself outside a church on 16th Street. But how can you not love bag pipers?

I can’t believe I’ve never featured the grand church located off 16th and Park. The sun was hitting it just right last Saturday. Check out some great details after the jump.

I thought it was a wedding. It turns out Saturday was St. Gabriel’s birthday and apparently that is a pretty huge deal in the Ethiopian Orthodox church. I’ll tell you what though. Despite the huge party and food I didn’t see one paper plate littering the street. These are some great neighbors.
And Happy St. Gabriel’s Birthday to you all.

This is a beaut from Crestwood on upper 16th Street.

Meridian Hill Baptist church is of course the church that was damaged by the terrible fire that decimated the apartment building on Mt. Pleasant Street a couple of months ago. It is located on some prime real estate on 16th Street. That’s really sad if they were forced to sell because they didn’t have proper insurance.
Now having said that, if they do end up selling what do you think this spot will become? Another church? Condos? Restaurant/club? Full photo after the jump. (more…)

Even God. This could be one of the worse acronyms I’ve ever seen though…

This building at 1527 12th Street has a sign that says First Genesis Baptist Church. Although a neighbor living near by said that he believes the building is vacant. Lots of potential to this building, yeah? Anyone know if the church still owns it?

Thanks to Kalia for sending the info and photos. She writes:
“I drive by the bus stop right across the entrance for the old soldiers home every morning and the last week there have been a couple of guys out there working on those “pegs” out there. Usually I would see people sitting on make shift seats where they took an egg crate and put it upside down on the pegs. They would be out there when no one was there and I always wondered who was the good Samaritan who donated the egg crates for the bus riders there. Some days they would be there, some days not. But just this past week someone was building first a wooden frame around a few pegs, then later were filling it in with cement. yesterday I walked by there by chance and noticed that the benches are finished and that they have crosses cut out of them. Was it a church that donated these benches? Is that public property or does it belong to someone? Do you think they had to get permits? They are wonderful benches and I saw some old soldiers sitting on them today, they looked like they enjoyed them.”
So does anyone know which Church sponsored these benches?

Thanks to a reader up in North Country for sending this phenomenal church sign. Amazing.
“So what church do you attend? You know the one off Sherman Circle – The House of God Which is the Church of the Living God the Pillar and Ground of the Truth Without Controversy, Inc.”
I’m exhausted just typing it. Now that I think about it I’m pretty sure there is some controversy…
