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.

South 13th Street Mural: South Omaha Mural Project

 This project is not actually in South Omaha but is in Omaha on south 13th street.  It is actually older than most of the murals in the mural project.  It is at the corner with Williams, but cannot be seen from 13th because it is on the back side of the building.  The mural represents past pictures of the 13th street area as well as hopes for the future.  For more information on the mural visit the South Omaha Mural Project.
