What's up, St. George?

I spent 8 days in St. George, trying to get in some golf in decent weather. Of course, the wind blew like crazy for half my time in Southern Utah so, even though I was able to get in a couple of rounds, it was unpleasant at best. Yet, St. George has been at the top of the list for fastest growing cities in the last few years.

Prices for real estate have escalated. The downtown St. George area is really congested. Yet many of Hollywood's most recognizable celebs have purchased homes amongst the red cliffs.

I have friends and relatives who have bought condos and homes in St. George and around the corner in Mesquite.

For those of you who have spent time there, would you recommend living in Southern Utah?

I love St. George and I would have moved there in a heartbeat 15 years ago. Now it is far too crowded and the infrastructure has failed to keep up with the growth. It sure is a nice place to visit but I would not want to live there now.

I have lived in St. George for almost 2 years and it has grown so much since I have been here. I love it because everything is here you don't have to go down to Vegas or up to SLC to get stuff from a mall or stuff that you need.
I love how is busy and packed with people the only part I don't like is people not knowing how to drive. But, what do you expect when you are living in a beautiful gorgeous town and there is a college here of course its going to bring students and a lot of younger crowd here...

I'm the only anchor remaining at FOX 13 from the beginning of News, Weather and Sports that went on the air January 1, 1992. At the time I was hired, I was the General Manager of the Salt Lake Golden Eagles, the city's professional hockey team. I had also handled the public address duties for the Eagles and just about every other pro sports team in the city including the University of Utah's football, basketball and gymnastics teams along with partnering with Tom Barberi on KALL radio for almost 19 years. Like most television sports anchors, I spent much of my earlier years playing sports in high school and college along with some semi-pro baseball and basketball before the Army interrupted by fun and games. Now, my activities are limited to golf whenever I can find an extra 4 hours or so to play 18. Utah has been my home since the early 60's and I can't see ever leaving. We are really fortunate to live in such a terrific state.
