Stories of murder, mayhem, a heavy dose of - what was it like to live through this - and the people who held it all together.

Have you ever frequented a local business or toured an old building and wondered what stories the building could tell if the walls could talk? Today we take a deep dive into 113 25th Street, today 111 25th Street. This was at one time the rowdy Senate Saloon run by a colorful character. We will reach through time and shake hands with him as well as dive into some of the stories the building could tell if it could talk. So give this episode a listen and then go do some hot yoga or have a cup of coffee here and think about who occupied the spaces we occupy before us and listen close for their ghosts.

What type of man does it take to walk a foot beat on 25th Street in the late 1800's and early 1900's? What was police work like at the Turn-of-The-Century in Junction City? And how did these men manage to keep such a tumultuous and transitioning population in check? Join us for the fights, foot chases, and more as we take a foot beat on rowdy 25th Street with William Darius "WD" Silvey, one of the first of the violent gentlemen that called Ogden City policing their career.

Merry Christmas from the Junction City Justice podcast! This month, we are bringing you a very special episode about Polo Afuvai's life and career. Brought to Ogden on a football scholarship, Polo worked his way from a Weber State police officer to an Ogden City detective and Tac Squad member. What exactly was the Tac Squad and what was it like to be an Ogden City cop in the 1970s & 1980s? We will let Polo tell you about that. Polo ultimately worked his way up to Chief of Police of the North Ogden Police Department.  A position he held for over 30 years. Our sincere appreciation to Polo and the Afuvai family for creating this opportunity and sitting down with us.
