Great article, looked like a fun tour!

Maybe it's my Catholic upbringing and bias speaking, but I don't know if there's a more beautiful spot downtown than Immaculate Conception.

Especially Easter week, it's nice to be able to pop my head in for a few minutes here and there between meetings or for a lunch-time mass.

Hard to replicate that in the 'burbs.

Also worth mentioning that it's one of only six churches in Florida ever designated as a basilica by the Pope for its exceptional historical significance, and one of only 80 or so in the United States. For context, neither Miami nor Tampa/St. Pete has a church with this high a designation.
