Not too many people stop at Sinclair who are just passing through. But at one time that wasn't true. And that's why the town has what was once a luxury hotel (now a Baptist church), a spacious park, really nice tennis courts, and the like. Only the sign on the hotel remains, as well as a historical monument, to remind us that Sinclair is the town's second name. It was originally Parco, a company town founded by the founder of what is now the Sinclair Refinery, the Producers & Refiners Corporation.
This post has had the unusual distinction of being on three of our blogs. It's put up here because, as noted above, the Parco Hotel is now used as a Baptist church.
Or at least part of it is. The hotel is quite large and it doesn't appear that the church occupies the entire building. Oddly, Sinclair has an abandoned church that looks as if it would serve this purpose better, but then that's engaging in a lot of speculation.
