Hey Roman, it's frequent ninety nine PI contributor Gillian Jacobs.
And if you were to create a show called One Percent Visible, what would it be about?
Well, that's the same thing.
I mean,
I mean, some people have described it that way, but if you ask me, I think it looks more like a concrete flying saucer landed on top of the Rose Bowl stadium.
One of my personal nerdier hobbies is driving around Los Angeles and looking up the history of buildings.
It's what I do to relax.
So, of course, the first time I went to Echo Park Lake, I homed in on that building across the street.
I had to know what it was.
And luckily for me, there are tours available.
Turns out this place is a Pentecostal church called the Angelus Temple.
Dan Scott is head docent of the temple's heritage museum.
The temple was designed by the church's founder, Sister Amy Semple McPherson.
Her voice was actually playing through the museum's speakers throughout the tour.
This is Claire Hoffman, author of Sister Sinner, The Miraculous Life and Mysterious Disappearance of Amy Semple McPherson.
As you can imagine from the title of Claire's book, there's a lot more to McPherson's story than just being a preacher.
Before she added the Semple and McPherson, Sister Amy was born Amy Kennedy in eighteen ninety.
Here she is talking about growing up in rural Canada.
Amy came from a religious family.
Her mother Minnie was a devout member of the Salvation Army, and Amy had her own divine experience when she was seventeen years old.
