Quite simply, nope! I think it is in the Bible belt, not too sure, but I guess if I ever go to the US, Memphis won't be on my list of places to visit! |
... and, the church probably has the only space big enough. So, not surprised. Churches have been known to rent out space on occasion. |
The fact that it is in the Bible belt makes it even more odd. Furthermore, renting out the space is flat out sacrilege. It is a place for worship, not business. |

Our neighborhood civic meetings are held in a Russian Orthodox church. We must be spies. |

I know of someone in my local area who was stopped from taking a nighttime photo of a skyscraper in downtown Dallas, again for "security" reasons. Visible from miles around, but the cop would not let him photograph it from that location. I think some of this behavior is simply so the authorities can feel they are doing something, even if it is ultimately misguided and ineffective. |
It wasn't the Bank of America building was it?
When I was in Dallas, on business, I tried taking a few pics of it and the cops gave me a ration of shit, mumbling some crap about 9/11 and "security concerns". As if.
