Ok, so first I was in the twin cities, and I came up with this church that I had never heard of, but it was on Snelling, which is really near where I lived, but I figured this church was somewhat far away. So I drove down Snelling for awhile, and it turns out it's right next to a building I've been to a billion times. Besides the church was locked, so I didn't really feel that since it was so close, and I'd been by there so many times that it counted as a completion. Then finals came, and I had made plans to do a different one in the twin cities, but I just didn't have time, so I went home to Bloomington, Indiana. Bloomington is a much smaller town, so every time I would paste in a word into google maps, I would find that I had been there already. I had already been at Borders, the biology building at Indiana University, and this house which is kinda historical, and this neighborhood, but finally the word materials brought up Garage Doors Plus. Now, it was on Walnut, which is one of the mainstream roads, and I'd never seen this place, which meant it had to be on the south side where I don't often go. I dragged my friends Veronica and Cassie along, and they didn't really understand why I was going, and I told them about sf0, and then Cassie said it was a place where people are made into tools...her words not mine. Anyway, it took awhile to find this place. There was a lot of turning around because it was kind of concealed and of the road a bit. Eventually Veronica found this sign that said South Park, which Cassie thought was funny, and under it is said Garage Doors Plus. It's just a really lame office building, but hey, if I ever need a garage door in Bloomington, Indiana, then I know where to go. Plus, I was amused dragging my friends along.

I found the church. You would think I would notice it was so near, but who really pays attention to all the churches names.

The same building has termite and pest control, a service I need as well.

Go twin cities! Did you write the "materials" permanently or semi-permanently outside Garage Doors Plus? Otherwise, you might want to give this one a third go!

I, too, would like proof of the word "materials" written on the building!
