Nice! Great timing. I was just exploring back there this weekend. It was the first time I noticed that the church on Powers ( ? ) just north of the pink house you feature, is Eritrean orthodox. I didn't realize we had a community of Eritrean expats in the area.
For those wondering why they may have migrated, I don't know. I would assume all their stories would be different. It's fair to guess that the current hellish regime is likely a factor.

IIRC, Jax did get a number of Eritrean refugees during the war.
