Friday February 7th 2014 Walk

I decided to come back to my much blog, and make a new attempt to add content each day.

Today I decided to go on a walk for a couple of specific reasons:

• I have a goal of getting 1/2 hour of exercise in a day
• My friend and manager has started walking for exercise and it brought it back to my mind
• I wanted to get outside for a break

I have started writing again for a few more reasons:

• I thought about it on this walk and saw something I wanted to take a picture of and write about
• I love history and personal history, and I consider this part of it
• I like to read other peoples views of things, and hope that I can bring something to someone else with my views

Today the walk was from my office, up to 100 south, over to 500 East, and back. As I was walking on 100 South, I saw a building on 400 East:

This looks like one of the "old style" LDS churches. I have had several conversations with friends and family about these, and I love them. I understand why the church builds the "cookie cutter" models now, but I greatly miss the unique building style and walking through them. 

As I walked past this building, I thought that it would be nice to walk around it, and discover the uniqueness of it. Then I thought about the obstacles that there would be. Then I saw a sign that it will be a American Cancer Society Building in 2015. 

I grew up going to a very unique LDS chapel and I loved it. There were so many cool features. I remember a spook alley for Halloween in the lower section, I remember begin frighted to go clean the erasers in a little room in the basement. I remember doing the rain gutter regatta as a cub scout in the upper floor. I remember the celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in the summer of 1976 in that auditorium. Lots of fun memories - too many to include in this blog post. 

I plan to talk more about these topics in future posts. Requests are always welcome.
