Before we leave yesterday’s neighborhood and walk over the DC line into Maryland, a few more points of interest.  We have three places of business with intriguing names:

Any thoughts?

We also have one more church, which appears to be a branch of a church headquartered in Nigeria, in Lagos.

Its website says: “Absolute holiness within and without as the greatest spiritual insecticide and a pre-requisite for heaven is taught openly.”

Yes, union activity.

Teamsters Local 730 represents, among its several thousand works, the employees of the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission. Local 22 of the Stage Employees Union has almost 500 members.

I had no idea that the oldest (and smallest??) Catholic church in the area was here. This building is almost 100 years old. Previous buildings were burned down in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812 and the Civil War, it appears.

Finally, the Veterans Administration has a presence here.

Now we head towards Maryland. A few residential blocks like we have seen before, followed by a last gasp or empty lots and closed buildings.

And now, across Eastern Avenue,  the DC boundary street.
