St. Luke's UCC was originally a German church in Old Brooklyn, the year stone is hard to read, it is incised in dark granite. It has been vacant for some years. It may be demolished. To the left is the church, to the right is the school, behind is Pearl Road Methodist, all reflected on a car roof.

 

Several buildings in Cleveland built as Catholic churches are no longer such. Perhaps this is the oldest one, at least one of the earliest ones to have other occupants. Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament was built in 1922-23. That parish merged, and moved into, nearby St. Adalbert in 1961. Both are between Quincy and Central. OLBS was on E. 79th, the current occupant is Harvest Evangelical Ministries.

During the three days before Fathers' Day, Avon Ohio has a Duck Tape Festival. The last two years the coronavirus pandemic cancelled it. Veterans' Memorial Park was the last location, and the parade was on Detroit. That was also scheduked to be the last time there. So, the new location was at the the minor league ballpark. It became a more modest affair. The University of Cincinnati art students were given baseball as this year's theme. Some very good art pieces were made.

possibly the best of this year's sculptures
