There are things in life that just make sense, and I’ve noticed that we Americans could take tips from other countries how to do things better and smarter. Japan has public restrooms that play music to mask the sound of flushing, and some have readout screens that show which toilets are free or occupied so […]
Making Summer plans yet? Many folks will travel out of town this season, but due to high gas prices and airline tickets, others will staycations instead. There is a lot to see and do this year in the capitol city and I’m excited about visiting some of the new attractions. ‘Bug World’ is an immersive, […]
Moving to Chicago? Maybe parts of Indiana, Iowa and Wisconsin? Last week thousands of Zillow listings disappeared on that website. Why? Well, the 411 is simple-there’s a battle going on across the country between MLS services and in this case it’s between Zillow and Chi-town’s real estate database called MRED. The database cut off […]
SLC has three residential zoning areas, ranging from very low-density single-family areas to high density areas for multi-family dwellings. There are actually 12 residential zones as part of the City’s total of 30 zoning classifications that also include commercial, industrial and special purpose areas. Each zone allows for different activities and supposedly helps prevent conflicts […]
I went out to lunch with friends the other day across from IHC’s mega hospital to a chain restaurant not of my choosing. The food was horrible, like warmed from a SYSCO bag of product produced in San Diego and shipped to chains around the west. Generally, I’ve always seen the parking lot there full, […]

A study done at the end of last year by Marketscreener.com found that 43% of U.S. homeowners renovated their home last year, and an additional 33% plan to renovate this year. This means roughly two in five Americans are either currently remodeling or planning to do so! The survey showed that for those who have […]
Utah’s liquor laws have historically been strict, and in this case where you can and can’t locate a bar. Our current laws require that any bar, liquor store or restaurant that serves alcohol must be located at least 600 feet from a park, school, or place of worship. These kind of laws aren’t specific just […]
With a record weak winter and extreme drought in Utah, Spring seemed to come on early and strong in many areas. When that happens many rush to garden stores to get the first flowering plants into their yards and yet Mother Nature usually has a snow or freeze or both in March or April so […]
I’m minding my own beeswax, driving in the middle lane of I-15 when I hear a really loud engine behind me…so loud that it scared me! I looked around and almost instantly a motorcyclist passed me on the left going over 100 mph with NO helmet. Given his racing and weaving in and out of […]
