The local LDS haunt near my office is right off of the freeway; a large white
marble fantasy-castle looking building sitting by itself in the woods. The
oddest thing about such LDS gathering places (so I'm told, not being Mormon
I've never been) is that they don't have a large meeting room inside; since
LDS is much more a one-on-one religion, the entirety of the building is given
over to small meeting rooms, and is supposed to be quite warrenlike inside.
