Day 59- 'The World Is Mine'!

As an avid reader, this one really touches my heart. Yes, if one reads, the world IS yours. Open a book and you can be in Africa on a dangerous safari, or instantly transported to the past or into the future. This bronze is by Annette Everette and titled 'The World Is Mine". You can snap up this darling sculpture for only $9,000! Number 20 in "Art Around The Corner 2011".

Day 58- Suntran!

Why drive when you can be chauffeured all over town for just a buck? No need to look at it as using mass public transportation, but instead, as having your own personal   stretch limo service! There are four routes and a bus comes to each stop every forty minutes. The buses are clean, the drivers are friendly and fellow riders do not look like escaped convicts.

For complete coverage and indepth info on what is going on for the next month in St. George, get a copy of 'The Independent'. This free monthly newspaper is an interesting read with short articles on a lot of the upcoming events, plus the arts and recreation. There is even info on St. George night life! (Yeah, we got night life...who'd a thunk?)  In the freebie stands.

Day 56- Temple Quarry Trail!

An awesome, short hike the whole fam damily can do. The trail is quite wide with a few wooden steps at the beginning and then just a gradual increase as it curves up the side of the mountain overlooking Green Valley. The trail head is so close and easy to find it took me three tries till I quit looking so far and hard and actually FOUND the dang thing.  

Day 55- 'Spring & Summer Vessel'!

This gorgeous vase (now I pronounced that like "dude, you'se hoss just stepp'ED on ma toe." You know 'horse' but with an accent. Get it? We got CULTURE here.) is by Ben Hammond and titled 'Spring & Summer Vessel' and listed at $6,850. This is number five on Art Around the Corner 2011 and located on Main Street.

Day 54- 'Where It's @'!

If you want to know what is shakin' and bakin' in St. George, pick up the weekly "Where It's @". There is a restaurant review, movie listings, community happening for the next 10 days, etc. This cool little 'magazinie' thing is included in the Friday edition of The Spectrum newspaper or just grab one from the free publication stands in most stores.

Day 53- Camille's!

As I was crossing the parking lot on my way to try this new restaurant, I happen to pass an older couple just leaving with a Camille's doggy bag. "Great!" I thought, "I can ask them how the food is." Well they LOVED it (I was thrilled!) and it is a chain (I was pissed!) restaurant. I hate chains and don't eat there if at all possible. Well I threw my standards out the window and went in. I hate to say it but the food WAS good and I even plan on going back again. "Oh, how the mighty have fallen!"
