Freeze

I took this picture this morning. One of Braddock's multiple churches. So many churches in such a small place shows how once this community was bustling. The main thing that drew me to this church is that I have no idea if it is functional. For the most part, things in Braddock are portrayed as crumbling which for the most part, they are. But there is a little niche here that I call frozen in time.  There are many buildings that don't seem broken, windows in tact, signs out in front, and if you were anywhere else you would just assume that they were businesses. Only here, that means absolutely nothing.

This church has a sign in front about services on Sunday mornings. Maybe it is true, maybe there is a small congregation that attends weekly. There is also the possibility that no one has opened those front doors in 15 years.
