Two Houstons – A President and a City

I had a busy Christmas vacation going to Oklahoma to see the Price Tower in Bartlesville, but that wasn’t my only excursion away from Dallas. I also went to Houston to visit family, a friend and the Houston Temple. I had … Continued

Hell’s Half Acre – Baptized

by kevinearl | posted in: Adventure, Day Trips, Everyday Adventure, Historic Site, Photography | 1

In downtown Fort Worth, the area just south of the convention center was once called Hell’s Half Acre. It was a neighborhood of ill repute where outlaws and rustlers took a break from their dastardly deeds and took in a … Continued

Before my adventure at the Sixth Floor Museum, I had a couple other adventures. First was at the Dallas Public Library. You may not think there are many adventures to be had at the library other than those found in … Continued

The Best of Salt Lake Kevin is a wonderful guide. He has knowledge of the area and history. Most important he has the ability to relate the information. To top it off, he is an accomplished author and illustrator of children's books. When visiting this unique city Kevin is the man to show you around.

Great informational tour of downtown Salt Lake City My brother and I wanted to learn more about the city we live in and Kevin's Historic Houses of Worship tour was an excellent choice. He gave us an overview of some of the churches we've only seen in passing; he has an obvious passion and interest in the old buildings in downtown Salt Lake City and their place in our history. Highly recommended tour.

Salt Lake City Historic Houses of Worship Walking Tour We did the "Salt Lake City Historic Houses of Worship Walking Tour" Jan. 29. The thing I found most interesting (since I have lived in SLC all my life) is how early and how many other religions were here in the early part of the state. We often think of Utah as just a "Mormon" state. Enjoyed the ones we were able to go inside and see the beautiful stained glass. Kevin knew lots of the interesting facts about the different religions.
