    In spite of their highly visible Christian facade, I suspect it is secretly run by witches and you’ve identified the main ley-line through the area.

      I imagine hobby lobby, with their illegal artifact collecting, is a Christian sect which does believe in magic and the power of other religions. They use Christian geomancy to find the holy Spirit without identifying it as a ley line.

    Hail Ziklag!

    A network of ultrawealthy Christian donors is spending nearly $12 million to mobilize Republican-leaning voters and purge more than a million people from the rolls in key swing states, aiming to tilt the 2024 election in favor of former President Donald Trump.

    These previously unreported plans are the work of a group named Ziklag, a little-known charity whose donors have included some of the wealthiest conservative Christian families in the nation, including the billionaire Uihlein family, who made a fortune in office supplies, the Greens, who run Hobby Lobby, and the Wallers, who own the Jockey apparel corporation.

      None I’m aware of. Certainly not in Chicago, lived there a couple of years. There’s a half-mile straight run of houses in my neighborhood back home, but that’s unusual and only because it was originally an airstrip.

      A long, straight road like that is going to be zoned commercial, no houses at all. Flip that around and a Hobby Lobby can’t be in a residential zone.
