Per a few different websites the International Gnostic Association for Anthropological Studies apparently has some kind of relationship (and is possibly the same thing as) the Gnostic Association of Cultural and Anthropological Studies, which has an entry in the Encyclopedia of Occultism and Parapsychology. The Wikipedia article about the latter organization's founder blathers on and on and on and on impenetrably.

The International Gnostic Association for Anthropological Studies has a website but please do not look at it if you are feeling shattered and vulnerable.

I never shopped here because it had gone out of business by the time I learned of its existence, but it reminds of me of memories of grocery shopping at other IGA stores in other parts of the U.S. I'm told people affectionately called it "Grody's."

Supposedly it was erected in 1950. Did this style of stone veneer exist in 1950, or would it have had to have been applied sometime later? Such as the 1970s? ANSWER ME!!

Answer me!!

Also the building is vulnerable to getting crashed into by vehicles, and I refuse to enter until a row of bollards is installed in front.
