Family Day
The church is not just an abandoned building, it's Gary's tourist industry! While we were there, THREE sets of people came and went.
We walked out of the auditorium and a family from the northern suburbs (mother, grandmother, and two girls) were walking in. The oldest daughter apparently found the place online and wanted to see it to take pics.
Not too long after that, a professional photographer, his model, his friend (bodyguard?), and the friend's dog checked the place out, then set up a photo session inside the sanctuary.
Finally as we came out of the school, a young couple showed up to check the place out. I think they were also photographers.
