Eric is neither in this thread or on this board anymore. Ignore the freak.

Sounds like wise advice.

The State Hospital or St. Marys?



Along the shores of the Great Salt Lake?

St. Mary's. Now gone as you know. And last I saw, the home that was built using the turret in the foreground was in sad disrepair and up for sale. I hope someone bought it and restores it.

Heber C. Kimball's house on the shore of the GLS. You can see black rock in the distance. I never saw these ruins personally, in fact I don't think the area is still there---isn't it covered by road now?

Not sure how long it remained for me to remember the ruins. I didn't know Heber C. Kimball once lived there. Did Helen Marr live there as well or was this just a dwelling for surplus wives? Wasn't it in this general area that the Plates of Kolob were discovered in the documentary, Plan 10 from Outer Space?

Here's another view from the LIFE archives...I think the highway expanded over the area, right?

I loved the Rivera. I got to see most of his murals when I was in Mexico City once. This was a long, long time ago when Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in Alameda Park was still in the Hotel del Prado (the hotel was torn down after the earthquake in 85).

Being long and deeply fond of Rivera and fond of this particular mural I hope to hear if it survived. Does it now only exist only in reproduction?

The flowers presented by Quasimodo are another favorite for me.

It still exists! Its in a Museum dedicated to Rivera murals, if memory serves. It was so great to get a chance to see it in situ, though.

Blixa, I am sure you enjoy your memory. I keep a visit to Mexico city as a hoped for adventure. I am glad to hear the mural was preserved. Of course Rivera is respected enough that people would want to do that.
