Turning the moneychangers out of the temple

Image of: William Shunn William Shunn

There's a diner called Orloff's on Columbus between 65th and 66th. I used to work near there, and I have many happy memories of having eaten artery-clogging lunches and dinners there. I also used to pick up a bagel with cream cheese and tomato there most mornings.

Unfortunately, it's in the same building as an LDS meetinghouse, and now that meetinghouse is being turned into a temple. Orloff's is closed. The moneychangers have all been turned out:

I know it's not about me, but I can't help but feel like the Mormons will keep fucking with me until I die.
