This is fun - outside the William Morris Gallery on Google Street View are some bible bashers.
Move forward and they vanish. Move forward once more again, and they're back.

Finally, after much procrastination, I started Project Turn Ian's House into a Home.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.
