The internet is filled with things. Here is one of them.
Holy City2024 Nov 10
San Jose's very own utopia-slash-cult, taking a spot in 1919 just south of Los Gatos. Founded in San Francisco by a white supremacist misogynistic bigamist, the cult made money by masquerading as a roadside tourist trap on the route between San Jose and Santa Cruz, complete with carbonated liquor and peep shows. It was granted California's second ever radio station license, somehow getting the callsign KFQU, which became known for drifting away from its assigned frequency. By the time Highway 17's completion bypassed Holy City in 1940, their reputation for supporting Hitler's Nazi Germany had already set the place on the path towards destitution.
The land has since changed owners several times, but game respects game, and it is now owned by the Church of Scientology.
