Go West: The Story of the Oregon Trail

by Shaun Jex | Feb 16, 2019 | 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, The Story Of...

The Pet Shop Boys, and to a lesser extent Horace Greeley, once advised us all to GO WEST, and as a general rule I do what the Pet Shop Boys tell me to do.  After all, life is peaceful there in the open air. Sadly, I was born roughly a century and half too late to take...

It’s hard to believe that over 25 years have passed since Jurassic Park hit the theaters. I still remember the thrill of seeing Steven Spielberg’s T-Rex stomp across the screen for the first time, and the simultaneous horror and fascinating of watching the...
