Jake & Jill take a tour through SLC of some spots of well known urban legends.
- First they stop by the infamous whale of 9th South & 11th East (which counts as a tall tail.. hahaha)
- Jake has a song stuck in his head.
- Next they visit Hobbitville, properly known as Allen Park, which is now a SLC city park.
- They speak with a volunteer who gives some background and history of this unique place.
- Why was it called Hobbitville?
- Interested in being a volunteer at Allen Park or other SLC park units? click here
- Give your input on what SLC should do with Allen Park here
- Jake & Jill visit Emo's Grave
- They attempt to do the thing you're supposed to do here to invoke the urban legend but Jake gets a bad feeling about it, gets weirded out, and halts the attempt.
- In retrospect, it may be disrespectful to go to someone's grave and perform this ritual. A better ritual would be to place some stones on his grave as a sign of respect.
