What's In This Blog

I created this blog for my journal. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this blog I keep many of the things I come across as a member of the church. I also share my experiences on the ACE Train and getting to work, my experiences in Manteca where we have lived for three years, and other things I think are noticeable.

Discovery soccer complex is close to the Millard Airport, off of 132nd.  It provides seven soccer fields with two parking areas.   It is inthe landing path for the Millard airport.  







Vinton Street Neighborhood

I heard Vinton road had an historical shopping area, but honestly, I don't think I found it.  Vinton was the southern edge of Sheelytown.  Among other landmarks in this neighborhood is the old Vinton School.  Built in 1908 and closed in 1987.  It has been converted in apartments.  



Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Salem Church.
Old church appears to be a residence.

Welcome to Omaha/ Bellevue: Andersen Park and Westchester Parks, Omaha

 Andersen Park is mostly a baseball park in Millard.  It has six ball diamonds, a covered shelter and a playground.  It is named for Harry Andersen, former mayor of Millard.  Millard has since be annexed into Omaha.  It is along the Papillion Creek.  

Just up the creek is the Westchester Park which is primarily a softball park.  It too has a playground.  The West Papio Trail and the Papillion Creek go past the ball diamonds.
