The Ogden I refer to is the city 50 miles north of here where I grew up,- not the theatre in Denver. Ogden has a rich railroad history with the largest hub and stockyard west of Chicago. It is near Promentory Point where the Union and Southern Pacific railroads met and were joined with the "golden spike". Ogden's 25th Street was notorious as murder row from the 1920's-40's. This was a very rough and tumble street. During the Prohibition, tunnels ran under the entire strip full of alcohol, gaming devices, skanky hookers etc.
I don't know what I will photograph yet, but I am trying to stear clear of the typical Mormon stuff (like 1101 mentions with Temple Square). The Delta Center would not be interesting either. How many damn sports arenas do we have in this country?
Anyhoo, the pictures will most likely come from somewhere in the Ogden area.
