Does anyone remember Park Memorial Baptist Church? Wayside Drive ran in front and Ave. K and Ave. J ran on the sides. I spent the summer of Watergate in their gym on the trampoline because there was nothing on tv except Watergate. I loved hearing the churchbells ring on Sunday morning. Hated to see it demolished, but I did manage to get a brick from the church.
I grew up in this church. I remember when they built the auditorium that you described. Even earlier, I remember when the church added a/c in the other buildings. Two somewhat famous preachers came through PMBC, Jimmy Draper, past president of SBC, and Chuck Swindoll. This was in the early 50's I believe.
