I actually walk my dog there sometimes. It’s one of the oldest churches in the country. It was founded in the 1600s. There are a lot of skunks there at night.

The historic fact is that there was no Chief Rising Sun...the road got its name from the Rising Sun Tavern. Also, Lawncrest itself dates to just before the Civil War. Try again.

This is exactly the type of banter I'd expect to hear on a Friday or Saturday night at The Princeton up on the Ave. Weird how I miss that kinda NEasty type humor after all these years. 😂

On a more serious and somber note tho... This is a fucked up news story, and shocking considering the neighborhood. Used to spend a lot of time up that way in my teen years. So out of place and character, even though the area had its own issues at the time (early 00s). Hope proper justice is served in this case.

Really? Awfully funny that's not mentioned in the church's history on its web site nor is the chief in the church's cemetery index. Try again.
