WHERE IS IT?

I would love to know if someone can identify where these photos were taken.  There are a couple that I already know the answer to, but mostly I just do not know.  If you know where any of these photos were taken I would love to hear from you - please comments below.  And kudos to whoever knows the most.

Aerials of Honeyville

I presented a fun way to play with Google Earth overlays a couple months ago, so today I am going to post some of those full aerials for download.  The big overhead shots are from the USGS and are dated by publication date not by photo date - but they are close.

Regrettably they are not to Google Earth standards; if only you could zoom way in there and flip to street view.

News From Years Past

How about some old news stories?  I find news clippings a lot of fun as they were very much gossip and opinion pieces and I learn a lot from that.  You almost begin to feel like you know everyone and what they were up to last week.  These are a collection of only a few of the Honeyville news stories that I have pulled from old newspaper archives.

Let's begin with the fun stuff - news with a little opinion.

Cool - let's hash it out in the paper under pen names (Brigham Bugler - March 1892)

Brigham Bugler - June 1892

It's for the children (Brigham Bugler - October 1891)

It's for the children pt.2 (Brigham Bugler - November 1891)

Footloose - I hear Kevin Bacon was one of those despondent children (Brigham Bugler - January 1892)

I think it is funny how the old papers went from news to ads to ads disguised as news and right back in to the news - and so seamlessly.

Hey, Honeyville has a new store - why not check out these other fine merchants (Brigham Bugler - July 1893)

Getting a post office was controversial (now they want to take)?

It's coming (Box Elder News Journal - June 1915)

And it's here - they moved faster then (Box Elder News Journal - August 1915)

 

Just plain old local happenings.

Brigham Bugler - December 1893

Box Elder News Journal - August 1910

Box Elder News Journal - November 1916

Box Elder News Journal - July 1920

Brigham Bugler - December 1891

 

Honeyville even got some mention in other newspapers.

P.O.W. in them thar hills (Davis County Clipper - August 1943)
