Virgin America Pass

I just came home from "O"Town. What an insane place. Every time I go back to my hometown, I am amazed that I am still alive today. The pics are from the Union Station and 25th Street. I recall many a fist fight in these parts. Oh, the good old days where you could get your ass kicked and still look good a couple days later: A little cut and pasted verbiage on the history--

Although Ogden began in 1850 as a religious Mormon community, with the completion of the Union Station the world came into Ogden. On 25th Street, near the train station, one could witness gambling, prostitution, narcotics sales, robbery, rape, and even murder. Ogden grew and became a rough city. Crime boss Al Capone commented in the 1920s that Ogden was too wild a town for him.

Me-wearing the lei (I should get points for being the first person to do this and double points for leaving myself open to some classic photoshop moment. I like to consider myself a part-time hobo of sorts...
