The Methodists were a thrifty group
The street-facing side of this sign says “United Methodist Church,” a group that was formed in 1968 when the Methodists joined up with the United Evangelical Brethren. Since the old name (complete with old time Gothic lettering!) was on the back side of the sign, I assume that the church members saw no reason to get a whole new sign, when all they had to do was turn the old one around.
Methodists: reusing stuff before it was even a thing. (If only, as an organization, they were still that progressive. But don’t get me started on that.)

If this church/parsonage combination were still in operation, it would be plenty cool in the summer.
(When I was a kid, we had these kind of air conditioners, which work by drawing air across water-dampened pads. They have a particular smell when they come on that I will forever associate with my childhood home on 28th Street.)

Hours grow shorter
The setting sun, lighting the front of the old church, with the afternoon’s storm cloud moving ever further away.

Family portrait
I’m not intending to be sacrilegious, but it is a family portrait.

When I use my phone to make a photo and I get a result like this, I sort of wonder why I even bother with the other “real” camera…
