We often had street services in NYC ... sometimes at the city parks, subways, and right in front of the church ...

and a couple of times got a permit to close off the entire block.

I think I may have a couple of pics of dad preaching outside.

New York lends itself to this because of the constant flow of pedestrian traffic ...
