neighborhood sights

Church doens't start until pretty late here, so I went out this morning and took some pictures of the neighborhood.

This is the intersection where my street hits the main road. I found out that the huge building a few blocks down is the Riverside church. It's really beautiful when you get up close. I got to listen to their bells playing church songs while I walked around this morning. I also found out that they have inside the originals of three paintings by Heinrich Hoffman that should be very familiar to anyone who's spent time in LDS church buildings (Christ and the Young Rich Man, Christ in Gethsemane, and Christ in the Temple). Dad, if you're reading this, these are some of the paintings we looked at in the reception room after the temple open house.
This place is about 10 feet up the street and makes delicious Italian Sandwiches. They deserve a post of their own. The blue awning that says "unisex" isn't referring to the sandwiches but to the hair salon next door (i think).
This is where I sometimes go to buy groceries. It's hard not to get claustrophic in between the isles in there. It does have a sort of cramped, overpriced, understocked, big city corner grocery store thing going on though.
I'm not sure what this building is, but I like it.


more to come a little later.
