Church on Broadway

We took a long walk to Best Buy - Montrose to Kenmore to Grace to Broadway then two miles down Broadway. Passed this church on the way. Sabine said it looked like a Russian church in the Aleutians.

Montrose Harbor, Tuesday Afternoon

Montrose Ave is eight miles north of the Water Tower. Lakeshore Park is at its widest here, between 1/4 and 1/2 mile. There's a marina, a nine hole golf course, a beach with boat rentals, and a concrete jetty going another 1/4 mile out into the lake. Just south of the golf course is a bird sanctuary. There are several ball fields (soccer, softball), tennis courts. On weekends the park fills up with ball players, barbeques, bikers, skaters, runners, and walkers.

He told me his name was Aaron Dodd and that he has played with Earth Wind & Fire, Carla Thomas, and Quincy JonesAccording to links from Google he also played with Sun Ra, Phil Cochran, 8 Bold Souls, Donny Hathaway, The Pharoahs,...
