California Google Map Street View Captures

Traveling around using Google Street Maps is always an interesting experience, and you don’t even need a car, plane, taxi, lodging, or fuel. Not only can you look around in places you have never been before and possibly never will be, but you never know what you will come across. From what appears to be UFO sightings to ghostly personages lurking in alleyways, bikini-clad girls, and places you may never dare drive on your own. It’s always a fun way to pass some time and discover something new!

Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Salt Lake

To inspire and enable the youth in our communities, especially those who need us most, to become caring and responsible individuals through guidance-oriented adult relationships and engagement in a variety of enriching activities within a safe environment.

A Safe Place:
The Club is a safe place where kids and teens can come to enjoy themselves and their friends while escaping from the dangers that may lie within their own neighborhood.

Opportunities:
Club members have the opportunity to learn and grow, give back to the community, discover their needs, set goals and meet new friends. Many of these opportunities would not be available to our youth were it not for the Club in their neighborhood.

A Full Schedule of Great Activities:
Games, tournaments, arts and crafts, dance, sports, leadership clubs, music, discussion groups, homework and tutoring help, and computer classes…just to name a few!

Outreach and Services for Teens:
A teen drop-in center, opportunities to volunteer and become a peer leader and mentor, along with specialized services geared for the needs and interests of teens.

Union Pacific Railroad Station

The Salt Lake City Union Pacific Depot is a spacious building located in the new Gateway District, next to the Jazz Basketball Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah. Built from 1908 to 1909 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Originally called the Union Station, it was jointly constructed by the San Pedro, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake Railroad and the Oregon Short Line, both later wholly owned by the Union Pacific at an estimated cost of $450,000. Both railroads’ initials were prominently displayed on the front of the building.

The sandstone building is constructed in the French Second Empire style and includes a terrazzo floor and stained glass windows. One ceiling mural by San Francisco artist Harry Hopp depicts the driving of the Golden Spike north of Salt Lake City at “Promontory Summit,” signifying the completion of the first transcontinental railroad in 1869. Another mural by San Francisco artist John McQuarrie shows the 1847 arrival of Mormon pioneers to what is now Salt Lake City.

Several side rooms were originally used for separate male and female waiting areas. The depot once housed an emergency hospital, lunchroom, baggage rooms, and offices for both of the original railroads.

In January 2006, three floors of the old Union Pacific depot re-opened as a restaurant and music venue fittingly called The Depot. The Depot brings a wide variety of musical talent to Salt Lake City.
