I recently purchased a new digital camera. Eager to try it out, I loaded up in the car and drove around southern Greene County looking for churches to photograph. I found plenty, some old, some new and of various denominations. The post title comes from the Norman Greenbaum hit that played on WIMZ while I was out driving.
