This one is probably my favorite landmark I have run into over the years.. I got caught trying to ahhmm relieve the City of Florence, of a piece of this church, with a stolen butter knife...

I like the gate. The monument itself is pretty phallic. Not necessarily a bad thing of course, depending on how you feel about giant phalluses.

Not the best picture of it but this is The Dutch Reformed Church.

The basement of the church is all hallowed out because it was a stop on Underground Railroad.

This is George Washington's Headquarters. Where the people asked him to become King and he turned that down. Also Betsy Ross sewed US Flag from this place as well.

This monument is part of the HQ as well but I'm going to go down there and take a better picture of it. It's only about five blocks from my place.

According to legend, Mr. Washington was a man endowed with a largely phallic nature, so the Freemasons put up many references to that into our pop culture.

Which bit is the park?

The tree and its cement moat, I'm guessing.

Just asking cos the bit behind it looks a bit like the slabbing they did on Eastside City Park in Brum.
