I really enjoyed the 2016 movie about that too... just great acting. Fascinating developments. Like this film, I really didn't know anything about it until watching this (fictionalized) film.

Movies can do a lot of good! #hatm

Wow, found this obscure interaction between Coffindaffer (the highway three crosses guy) and the Bishop who confirmed me in the faith.

Have to say having three yellow and blue crosses on the Cathedral grounds (see my banner) would've been something.

Dang, the late Rev. Bernard Coffindaffer rocked the 70's robe. Almost looks like something out of Harry Potter -

My daughter is in Cincinnati and just texted me a photo of a church I used to pastor -

Oh, I just remember who that guy reminds me of - it's Zippy the Pinhead, an 80's punk rock anti-hero. #hatm

Oh my, y'all. Anne Ramsey died just three years after this film, right after starring in Throw Mama From the Train. She died at age 59 of cancer.

This sad fact about her cancer makes the "We only serve tongue here" while holding a knife all the more ironic - #hatm

Oooh, a Rube Goldberg machine! I have used that term with younger folks and they have no idea what I am talking about. #hatm

Does anyone know what the proper group name is for these? A tumble of muffins? A chaos of calories? A smorgasbord of sugar?

The repeated use of art like this by the DHS for propaganda purposes is... not subtle.

How in the world do (brown) immigrants threaten backyard football?

What I remember is playing pick up soccer with our girls' team, and inviting a group of Hispanic men to join us, probably day laborers.

Pulling back from the world (e.g. USAID). Pulling back from charity.

Pulling back from turning simple holidays into collective good, even with something as small as pennies.

Or maybe it's happening, and I'm just a clueless old man. And now I've got my costume idea when kids come to the door.

Who remembers these from when we were kids?

I was trying to explain these to college students today and they had no concept.

This was a whole cultural phenomenon surrounding Halloween that we grew up with. Something has been lost.

It looks like such a cool building! Here's the sanctuary if it helps spur your memory -

A good friend of mine's church began leasing this space in Dearborn, MI. Was originally an American Baptist church, now multi-use.

Love these exterior lines. Classic mid-20th century stuff.

Architects: Schmiedke and Storrer, 1964.

Here's a picture of the lake as it looks like when it is drained... it goes back and forth depending on rain fall, etc. #hatm
