Utah Gossip

Okay, maybe not, but I think I’m gonna have to buy another refrigerator just to accomodate all the wedding invites that have been showing up in my mailbox. Am I the only one? Anyways, my friend created this Squidoo lens for all those who are planning for one of the million Utah weddings that will [...]

So someone at work suggested today that we try out this burger place that was supposed to be like In-N-Out. In-N-Out seems to have a an almost cultish following here in Utah. Personal opinion: it’s good, but not worth throwing a pill in apple sauce over. But I digress.
When someone said it was “like In-N-Out” [...]

As an out-of-state student here in Utah, I often hear other out-of-state students complaining about living in Utah and how the Beehive state just doesn’t measure up to their home states (certain southern Cali and Arizona natives seem to be the biggest culprits). “There’s nothing to do here” is the complaint I hear over [...]

Country’s golden couple is coming to town! Tim McGraw and Faith Hill will be performing June 11 at Salt Lake City’s EnergySolutions Arena. Even if you are not a big country music fan, you have to admit these two have talent, consistently putting on one of the best shows to come through the [...]

I know the Utah legislature is busy debating important issues such as taxes and immigration, but I’m rather disappointed that Governor Hunstman has no plans to bring Henry’s Law to a special session of the legislature.

I was listening to 101.5 The Beagle…Salt Lake Snoopy! this morning (local country station), and they were interviewing Carmen Rasmussen of American Idol fame. (She’s a local Utahn.) No, she didn’t win. I think she said she came in 6th place a few season ago. Apparently, she’s been working for a long time for a [...]

For those of you who are politically challenged, I will recap. Sharpton made the following remark during a debate: “As for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God [...]
