It's cold. But also wants to be showy.
Or a thin condom. So it's still protected but can still get all the feels.

Stone is aging and crumbling, this catches debris
Also helps keep pigeons off the stonework. Bird poop is corrosive.
Yes, it's on Smithfield - Smithfield United Church of Christ

This would have been simpler if they just built a smaller church under the main church to catch falling debris.

Maybe stuffs falling off it, that's how we catch shit like this. Works on Bridges too. /s

Didn't that bridge under a bridge had a diaper on it too, like this church

The upper bridge had a diaper. Yes. That was solution #1 that didn't work.

It's a modesty veil. A little too close to Weiner World. Doesn't want to draw the wrong kind of attention.

I didn't even suspect anything other than the clean stone on the bottom. I thought the whole church was just dirty lol.

Classic Pittsburgh fix. Should we maybe refurbish this crumbling thing? Nah just put a net around it to catch the falling concrete

That takes money and time believe it or not, as much as I do hope that's not the "permanent" solution.

They are probably repointing the brick which means they pull out what’s left of the old sand and lime mix between the bricks and press in a new mortar mix. It’s a slow and tedious skilled but messy job. Now that I’m living in Washington DC, all our historic houses 100 years old are needing this done. You don’t fill with cement or your bricks may crack from the freeze thaw with nowhere for the moisture to go, called spalling.
