Trolley Square

2019 West Again, Family, Road Trip, States, Utah

As we were navigating the streets of Salt Lake City, Utah in search of a gas station, we received a phone call from Sarah and Rick asking us to join them for dinner at Desert Edge Brewery at Trolley Square. We found a relatively quiet table in a back corner near the glass wall dividing the dining area from the brewery giving us the opportunity to enjoy conversation as well as some great beers and savory sandwiches. After the repast we wandered through historic Trolley Square, now an upscale retail space but a hundred years ago a state of the art trolley fleet building and in the late 19th Century, the local fairgrounds. After dinner we meandered a bit until we were delighted to see a silver Grumman food truck parked inside the east courtyard. Soon Sarah and Rick were enjoying Normal Ice Cream and when the serving of Chocolate Sorbet proved too much for Rick, we took one for the team. (But who swiped one of our phones to snap the photos of us?) Thanks, Rick and Sarah, it was an incredible evening with you. Can’t wait for our next opportunity!

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.

London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
