Bethel Lutheran Church, South Avenue

One day, I'll get better pictures, but this is one of the most perfect examples of mid-20th century Gothic I've ever seen.

St. Lucas' Lutheran Church, Old South End

There was an art exhibit at St. Lucas' yesterday, perfectly timed for a stop on my way back from Mass. I knew if I made the right noises, I'd get an opportunity to have a look around. I'm glad I did. Overall, I'd say this is the most beautiful Protestant church interior I've seen in Toledo.

I'm afraid neither of the pictures I took does justice to this wonderful font. It's a gem.

More tomorrow.

Trouble in Lima

More evidence that Lima has a serious problem with its police force. The council needs to wake up and realize it's time to fire the chief, as a first move.
I've never understood why the reviews of complaints are handled by police officers, instead of by civilians. That's a recipe for a whitewash.

Quote of the Day

"Ohio is the apotheosis of Americanism. The middle west begins with Indiana, the east with Pennsylvania, the south with Kentucky, and, surrounded by these sits Ohio, one of the richest spots on earth. Its contribution to music, art, literature and the theatre is far greater than any two states in the nation."
