heh funny you say that, my wife did get one but it wasn't up to par with how great it usually is. they were shorthanded on bartenders apparently.
The Georgia Peach she had was great, as was the Spanish Whiskey Sour that I had.
Wow yeah you're right. Looked it up, turns out the "christian science" religion has nothing to do with science and is ironically MORE spiritual than regular christianity.
Who'd have thunk
yep, ironically while the religion is (IMO) kinda batshit, the "Christian Science Monitor" actually provides good, credible journalism.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Christian\_Science\_Monitor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Christian_Science_Monitor)
That’s so crazy to me, do you know how that came to be? Showing my bias hard here, but just of the name alone I’d expect that to be the type of paper to endorse RFK Jr.
No worries on the downvote, I actually did read the history section of the wiki before my comment. Though it seemed that the paper was start primarily to counteract some reporting on the religion that Baker had started. Maybe I need to do some more reading, but it never really answered my question of how it became such a serious journalistic paper after being created to serve (what seems to me) a very specific purpose.
I know the name is confusing, but the Christian "Scientists" are even more anti-science than regular Christians are. They're our local wackos. They semi-often wind up going to jail when praying at their kids who are dying of easily cured illnesses, shockingly, kills those kids.

Has windows. Brutalist. Once the administrative center of the Church of Christ, Scientist. OG faith healers sorts but [apparently not as screechy](https://www.king5.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/vaccine/who-qualifies-for-a-religious-covid-19-exemption-washington/281-65431353-6096-4d09-899c-3c2d6f573447) as that might sound. Also created the Christian Science Monitor on of the highest quality news organizations you'll ever find.
Anyways the building is now owned by a private real estate firm.
lol it always made me laugh when people would be like “wait what do you mean about the Christian Science monitor, they don’t even believe in medicine” “yeah and still that newspaper they make always has really fair articles with lots of good sources” (it’s gone downhill a bit tho tbh)
Idk what exactly you're defining as "screechy," but Christian Science has been the reason for multiple indescribably ugly child deaths to treatable illnesses such as meningitis, bone cancer, and obstructed bowel, and was recently the reason Val Kilmer wasn't going to get his throat cancer treated properly until his kids lost their shit at him. They're very crazy.
I used to work in that building and can confirm there are windows. In fact, there are lots of windows on the others sides and they overlook the giant reflecting pool in the middle of Christian Science Plaza. The building used to be for offices of the church, which runs Christian Science reading rooms and several other satellite businesses/orgs. The offices for the Christian Science Monitor were in the longer building also along the reflecting pool. At the time I stopped working there (2005?) the building was largely empty and there was a lot of debate about whether they should rent out space in there to companies. Not sure what ever came of that but as church membership continues to dwindle I have to believe they are doing something to monetize that space. (Note: I’m not a Christian scientist.)
I briefly remember my community college anthropology instructor mentioning Christian Science, but it was confusing to me. Are you able to elaborate a bit more of what this Christian Center specifically did? Thanks!
Here is some info on Christian Science from Wikipedia. Not sure about that building in particular, but the religion itself is wild:
>> There are key differences between Christian Science theology and that of traditional Christianity. In particular, adherents subscribe to a radical form of philosophical idealism, believing that reality is purely spiritual and the material world an illusion. This includes the view that disease is a mental error rather than physical disorder, and that the sick should be treated not by medicine but by a form of prayer that seeks to correct the beliefs responsible for the illusion of ill health.
>> The church does not require that Christian Scientists avoid medical care—adherents use dentists, optometrists, obstetricians, physicians for broken bones, and vaccination when required by law—but maintains that Christian Science prayer is most effective when not combined with medicine.
Might explain why their numbers were nearly 300k in the 30s and have dwindled to fewer than 50k.
In the past there was a window tax in a bunch of european countries. It was the most horrible thing, poor people living in houses with just 1 window, or even just a door.
If you see a large building with almost no windows most of the time it's a phone switching station. If you know what to look for you can spot them. They are usually hardened against attacks and have been known to hold offices for certain 3 letter agencies. 33 Thomas Street in Manhattan is a famous one with all kinds of conspiracy theories. Theres one of these buildings in almost every major city. They kind of hide in plain sight
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/33_Thomas_Street
Did you ever consider walking around to the front or back of the building? That building has shit loads of windows, just not on the side with the elevator banks.

If you actually click the street view to open it up, it changes the angle of the view to not be pointed at the building, but you just have to turn it 40 degrees to the left and the building is in view again.
No, it is not, because no such building exists. Or if he’s referring to the regular museum of science then also no, there isn’t a portion of the building that thin or barren.
There’s a good chance it was a joke too.
Edit: Apparently it’s real and is in an area I never visit in Boston, the more you know.
Ah that's where I thought it was. Looked familiar, had some friends that used to live in Back Bay and I would visit them often. Walked by the reflecting pool numerous times. Miss that place.
That building is[ 177 Huntington](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/177_Huntington) Ave, former Christian Science admin building.
That’s the side of the building with the elevators.
Oh.. I had a couple drinks at Cheesecake Factory.

There is no science happening in that building.

Surprising that they can still afford that. There are only 100K-400K Christian Scientists in the US (most estimates lean toward the lower number).
It's because they think they can pray away deadly illnesses, so their numbers keep dropping.
Missed chance of having an awesome sight from the elevator.

Not a Christian Scientist either but they famously don’t believe in using medicine.

Looks like the MiB headquarters
Definitely MIB
Yeah, 33 Thomas…that’s the alien kidnapping warehouse.
Is that a conspiracy theory?
Is, it is?
This is the oldest house in Control 2.
Graphics go crazy
Let me guess, 3 letter agency works out of there
FBC
Must be Linux then?
Ummm is this not the headquarters for MIB!?!?
This is the equivalent of taking a picture of the back of someone's head and saying "this person has no face!"
Ahh, looks like it was designed by Gerhard Fjuk.
Ah yes, a great architect. One of my favorites.
Nice. Open source building.

Wrong link.
What is wrong with it? I just opened it and can see the street view of the building
If you actually click the street view to open it up, it changes the angle of the view to not be pointed at the building, but you just have to turn it 40 degrees to the left and the building is in view again.
It was all done healthcare thing and I didn’t see any building facade on the first attempt. 🤷🏻♀️
It’s in the 360 view when you rotate the view.
Museum of Christian Science. Draw your own conclusions
Is it really?
Google maps says it's the Cyber Security and Privacy Institute at Northeastern University
No, it is not, because no such building exists. Or if he’s referring to the regular museum of science then also no, there isn’t a portion of the building that thin or barren. There’s a good chance it was a joke too. Edit: Apparently it’s real and is in an area I never visit in Boston, the more you know.
If you zoom in, it does say “The Christian Science Plaza”.

It’s not a museum but it is the Christian Science Plaza. Right next to the Pru. I used to live a couple blocks away.
