Next time I'm in Salt Lake City you should come for a visit. I can show you a lot of interesting Utah/Mormon history sites off the beaten track...
If you say it's cool, Blixa, then I believe it. I lived in Salt Lake City for many years and never heard of it. I'm sure I would have given it a look if I had. The sphinx image is still a little unsettling, though.
Having you show me around the cool "unkown" stuff in Salt Lake City would be terrific.
I lived in Allen Park for six sordid months while I was in college. I think that may fall into the category of "off the beaten path".
There was recently a podcast at Mormon Expression about cool stuff to see in SLC. The Sphinx thing was included.

I like Gilgal Gardens.

Thank You.
Apparently, I can inspire overseas. I have near the same abilities as the Holy Ghost, who (what?) can do it from Kolob, with superluminal speed.
Edited to add: Our avatars have the same shtick (schtick, schtik, shtik - I don't know how are handled the yiddish expressions in US). by the way in Hungary, there is no antisemitism. We have the claim to it...

My first time in SLC I had a friend, a girl I was crushing on in the worst possible way, take me there. Summertime in SLC, Gigal Gardens, and a crush. Makes for a very, very fond memory.
