The original Red Hut Waffle Shop and the Lake Tahoe Community Presbyterian Church are neighbors on Highway 50 with a common driveway between their parking areas, as seen in this snapshot taken 20 years ago.

A warning.

Then the church posted this cute sign, below right.

Today, their signage still amuses.
