Temple of Apollo of Greater Los Angeles

The Temple of Apollo in Los Angeles is built on the site of a failed Roman Catholic Church (Yes there was wailing in sackcloth and gnashing of teeth over that.) The Temple was founded by Raymond Inez, priest and son of Apollo
The Temple is a compound fronted with a classical Greek sanctuary. It also contains a health clinic, and a library of priceless Greek literature. It is amazing what you can get when Apollo is your patron.
==The Temple==
===Sanctuary===
The typical form of the Greek Temple with a moderately massive statue of Apollo at the center back. The worship of Apollo does not include showing up and singing his praises. One makes bargains with god. You make requests for a sacrifice. Very direct and very immediate. The priest are on hand to dispense the miracles as needed. In this modern age, you either do this or your temple goes empty. 
===Clinic===
Urgent Care medical services open 24/7. Not just medical doctors but clerics on call. The clinic has all the modern toys including bio beds. Serious cases are refereed to the local Hospital after stabilization, or just healed by the priest if possible. 
Primary Care services are available Monday through Friday 12 to 8. The clinic makes a point of being open in the evenings so working people do not have to take time off to see a doctor. Pediatric and OBY/GYN services as well. They have a Dentist Monday and Tuesday and an Optometrist the other three.
===Library===
A peerless library of ancient Greek writings, philosophy, literature, history, and more. The original Greek in scroll and codex, modern bound study volumes in the original language, and in English for the Greek challenged.
The majority of this collection was supplied by Apollo himself. There are many lost books here for the scholars of such things to argue over. The items date correctly, but they do not look old as dirt. It is something about being preserved on Mt Olympus. Every known Greek author of the Classical period is included, including some that no one has ever heard of.
The Library educates as well. They bring in Ane teachers for language and literacy. They hold serious gloves off classes on philosophy. 
==In the Community==
The reaction to the temple from the agenda free has been mostly positive. Curious people do wander in and priests are present to inform. The disagreeable are told to leave. Two persistent examples have learned what an Avoidance spell does.
The Ancient Literature branches of the local universities are all but living there. Seething and arguing at all hours of the day. Hey it's what they do.
The clinic found a clientele at once. The area was Doctor free for any walking distance. The fact of pedantic care is popular with the many poorer Spanish speaking in the neighborhood it is next to. They are also soaking up the language lessons.
