  One of the unique things about Provo, besides having more ice cream shops than I have ever seen in any state, are the many Soda shops! I’ve lived in many states but Utah is the only state where I see a soda shop on nearly every corner of the town where there is traffic. There is a soda shop in my neighborhood! The influence of LDS Church culture on the soda scene is significant. In the past, members would avoid “hot drinks” like coffee and tea. This unique dietary restriction has made soda mixes a popular and refreshing beverage choice for the general public. There are all kinds of concoctions of soda mixes. These are so popular here in Provo and all over Utah. What are the Best Soda Shops in and near Provo, Utah? 1. Swig Location: 1523 N. Canyon Road, Provo, UT 84604 Hours of Operati...

  Fancy Burger at 37 W University Pkwy in Orem (very close to Provo) is in the same shopping area as Barnes and Noble, close to Crumbl Cookies. This is a brand-new burger restaurant as of May 2023. Fancy Burger paid for a full-page ad in one of the local community free circulars that is sent to our home. This is what piqued my interest in trying this new hamburger restaurant. They did not include a special or a coupon. They did include their pricing for the regular menu items but not for their monthly “Fancy Burger” which runs between $27 and $37 for one burger! Three of us went to try Fancy Burger on their grand opening day. It was crowded, but we were able to get a table because we knew to go before the rush hour! The atmosphere is really fun, bustling, and high-end… I enjoyed the dec...

Many residents of South Central Minot are stumped at what is happening at Roosevelt Park and the Roosevelt Park Zoo.The short, unsatisfying, answer is flood mitigation. On June 22nd 2011 Minot was flooded by the worst flood in it's recorded history. I'd love to tell you the whole story as it is an amazing tale of government incompetence that involves both Canada and the USA.The wholesale slaughter of 100+ year old trees falls under flood mitigation BUT the whole/true story equally involves the Roosevelt Park Zoo (which falls under the Minot Park District).Roosevelt Park is Minot's second largest park and the only park in South Central Minot. The short story here is that Minot's South central residents are going to lose more then half of their park as once all these wonderful trees have ...
