Next summer (July-August) many of us will be glued to mostly re-broadcasts of the Summer Olympics being held in Tokyo, Japan. As an aside, some of us will be wondering if Utah will win to host the Winter Olympics one more time. Last year Salt Lake City received approval to bid again for the games […]
Sure, you know me from writing this column, but for 28 years I had a radio program dedicated to women’s music, women’s history and women’s news. It was the longest running program of its kind in the country. I write this because I still pay close attention to women in the news and women’s music. […]
If you’re a first time home buyer wanting to live close to downtown in the capitol city of salt, and can’t qualify to a big mortgage, where are you going to look for homes? Capitol Hill and the Avenues are too expensive unless you want a tiny condo. From the University of Utah to Millcreek […]
It seems a bit early to be writing about the 2020 national Census but there’s a lot of jabber going around about the goods and bads that are about to come down upon our heads next year. You are probably not old enough to have ever filled out a Census form or been queried by […]

St. George is America’s fastest-growing city, according to the University of Utah Kem. Gardner Policy Institute. They grew in population by almost 4% last year. Why is that do you think? It’s certainly become retirement heaven for many Baby Boomers as the climate is similar to Arizona. It still has a ‘small town’ feeling and […]
I’ve been selling real estate since before there were mobile phones or the internet and when homes around Liberty Park used to sell for $29,900. I sold a friend a home in the Bountiful hills back then-a big one with @3500 sq. ft. for $79,000. She and her husband thought they were paying way too […]
