@rewildingmag @Karstan this looks extremely satisfying
@bearofroses @rewildingmag @Karstan It does, but did you notice how the space came to no longer be used by cars? Had the membership of the church declined since it was built? Some other factor?
@soaproot they also have a parking lot in front of the church
