Most of you have probably been to St. George. And those of you who have should be familiar with "The Boulevard". Officially the road is St. George Blvd., but no one calls it that. It runs east and west across town, and it's where all the older hotels are, the banks, fast food, and it is where high school and college kids "cruise" during spring break. From my point of view, however, it is just a crowded road that has way too many stoplights, so I rarely ever go up there. I prefer to use 1st or 7th South to get across town.
Anyway, Shannon and I were out and about last weekend and decided that we wanted to stop by a furniture store, because we're in the market for a rocking chair. We figured that Boulevard Home Furnishings would be a good place, because we'd heard of them, we were pretty sure they were a big store, and we were right near the blvd. Unfortunately, we didn't know exactly where on the blvd the store is. So we guessed. We drove from the middle of the blvd to the west end, and found it not. So we turned around and drove the length of the road to the east end looking for the store. But still we were stymied. We gave up.
Upon returning home and consulting the phone book we learned the Boulevard Home Furnishings is not on The Boulevard.

Long-timers will tell you that it used to be on the Boulevard, until it needed more space and more parking, which you well know is not available on the "Boulevard." And, don't you think that the St. George Boulevard is a far cry from most people's connotations of a boulevard???
LOl that cracks me up it is not on the good ole blvd! Thanks for the laugh!
St. George is quite the town.
Have you ever been to Irmita's on Bluff St and 500 S? It's the best Mexican food in town, I tell ya.
I call the town "red mess" when it rains.
Ben, that is such a good name for it. I just went for a walk (it rained/snowed last night), and there are rivers of red mud running down the sidewalks.
