Salt Lake City



I really had a blast putting this little trip down memory lane together. The idea came to me while working on Zach's last video. When started I was glad that my insomnia was in full effect. So many place and sights that came rushing back to me as I searched. From the old neighborhood and schools to some of our favorite places to eat. The Tiki Hut, Sizzler and yes, Dee's with a jug of root beer to go. A shopping center where we would do our grocery shopping along with a theater, bowling alley and swimming pool. Skiing for some.... but fun for all. Oh, and what can be said for Lagoon, for me its still the best amusement park ever. I had more to add but figured after hearing "Salt Lake City" by the Beach Boys three times it was time to quit. Hey even that song brings back a few.

Sad to say through my journey I found some of those places gone. The nautical center where I learned to swim and Dee's Drive In's gone. Its a lot bigger and more crowded but funny how my old street seemed quiet. I guess all the kids grew up and moved away.

Coming from a native, what a beautiful place.

What fun this was to watch - lots of good memories! I still think Dee's was way better than McDonald's and fell in love with roller coasters at Lagoon.
