There was a small internet cafe with three computer monitors on a skinny table against the far wall, a few small tables, and a coffee barista booth. To my right, through the opened double doors, was a freshly-painted basketball half-court with a fiberglass backboard rim.
I continued forward into the auditorium as a gospel song played through the speakers. A skylight in the center of the auditorium and allowed sunlight to pour in, and softened the concrete floor.
Later on, the speaker asked the audience if anyone had any noteworthy events that the group could pray about or celebrate. And for the next five minutes, the speaker listened to announcements of birthdays, upcoming overseas vacations, family gatherings, and the deaths of close family members.
The speaker seemed to know many of the audience members - young and old - by name. I haven’t seen anything quite like it on my journey so far.
The journey continues in the Humboldt Park neighborhood on the west side, at the corner of Grand Avenue and Hamlin.
