First Congregational Church of Los Angeles — Attraction in Los Angeles

Atheist here, generally not a fan of churches. I'm commenting on what this church did after the Northridge Quake, for which I give 5 stars. Bit of a long story, but of historical interest. The Northridge quake opened with a massive vertical thrust that literally threw me out of my bed, a VERY rude awakening.

They fortunately landed back more or less in place without doing any damage, but noticeably out-of-alignment. About a week later, a huge crane was seen removing these capstones.
