  1. Thank you! The feedback I’ve received from by friend mimics that of what you stated. yes….. water is in short supply. Similar to Vegas but likely even more limited. it really is such a beautiful area. Can’t wait to explore. We’re looking into some e-bikes with off road capabilities.
  2. You’re certainly entitled to that opinion. he didn’t have any trouble reading leverage in college. It was actually one of his strengths in setting up his RAC opportunities. Plenty of which were in the red zone. Huge, soft hands. Contested catches with a large catch radius. RAC. Great burst/release. Attributes one looks for in the red zone. you could be right. I think you’re wrong its all on Dorsey to make it work imo.
  3. Yeah the real estate isn’t cheap. It’s similar to Vegas and seems to be on the rise whereas the real estate in Vegas is at a stand still. Looking at 500-600k for a nice 2100+ sq foot home in a nice area. Luckily there isn’t any inventory in LV, so houses are selling quickly (despite the interest rates). We’re contemplating renting out our Vegas house but will probably sell so we can apply it to our new home and keep our mortgage down.
  4. Thanks @Augie- while my specifics are lacking atm, I’m confidant that the ABV limits are only specific to grocery stores now (5.0abv and below). Liquor stores and bars can serve higher abv. Cocktails are limited to 1.5oz main spirit, up to 2.5oz with secondary alcoholic flavoring. Heavy pours not allowed, which is great for business.
  5. I’ve been living in Las Vegas the last 24 years, working mainly outside for 12 hours a day. I’m not worried about the heat. My current concerns revolve around religion, looming construction and driving to from Vegas for every Bills game and when we go on vacation. Vegas is the closest major airports. The heat is 3 months- the rest of the year is beautiful
  6. Thanks for the feedback! The Mormon influence was the only thing we were worried about. My business partner isn’t Mormon and yet he’s thriving. He’s been there for 2.5 years and has become one of the cities pillars. His bakery has a line leading outside every day of the week. He speaks at community events and has business relations with many of the cities top dogs, per se. The cities influx of residents has been mostly led by gentiles. The ratio isn’t what it once was and is moving further and further away from the mean. That said- I’m sure you know much more about the area than I and I believe you when you say it will be a challenge. The area is severely lacking in good food and drink options and even more so- great service. We earned our stripes together working in high end VIP hospitality venues for over 20 years and making our customers feel special is the focus of the brand (along with great food and drinks!). Can’t wait.
  7. It really is the place to be. Mormons or no Mormons. Comparing St. George to the current version of Las Vegas is laughable. Vegas is a hot mess. I’m a bit worried about the infrastructure of the streets. With so many people moving there rn, I wonder how long it will take for it to become a construction zone and encompassed with terrible traffic.
  8. Thanks for the well wishes! It really is a beautiful area. 40 mins from Zion is a huge selling point. So many parks and camping locations. if anyone is ever in town before hitting up Zion, stop by Farmstead bakery. It’s become a pillar of the community. My business partner owns it (as well as Kairos, a Greek restaurant). He was just granted a liquor license and we’ll be opening up a local watering hole/kitchen. He also said the city generally backs the Utes and Kincaid was the fan favorite. Contemplated making it a Bills bar….. but then I’d probably have to work it. No thanks
  9. I’m going into business with a long time friend and my wife landed a great job at Rocky Vista University. 24 years in upstate Ny. 24 years in Vegas. Looking forward to 5-10 in St. George before I retire on a beach. anyone here from that area? My current game plan is to take the 2 hour drive to Vegas and keep business as usual at moondoggies for bills games. Any bills backers bars?
  10. Cali boy vs Ohio boy. I don’t see it happening. Maybe
  11. 💯 agree with all of that my point was…. There’s no chance Burrow leaves.
  12. I agree that he was better in the 2nd half and could be our future at center. I need to see more before I’d call him good.
  13. He’s cheap. He’s not the biggest fool on the planet. Brown will pay Burrow whatever he wants.
  14. Not much better than replacement/depth player imo. Is he worth 5M a year? I think we can get similar play from a mid round pick getting paid much less. That said- if we want our OL to take a step forward into the top 10-15 range, I feel we need Torrance to become a good player and Bates’ future will be as great IOL depth or starting center on this team (if Morse leaves)
  15. And RG imo. Bates is who he is. Decent- not much better than replacement level. If Torrance can provide us with “good” play at RG, it should help out Brown, who has never played next to a “good OLman”
  16. You wouldn’t be shocked if Burrow left? I would be
  17. SVP really laid into minutes after winning a Super Bowl!
  18. I’d take knox over engram 💯 He is with the jags
  19. I love the floyd addition. Love it, love it. I think you might be sleeping on how good Hopkins is. He was really good last year with Colt McCoy and Trace Mcsorley throwing him the ball in 6 of his 9 games played. agree to disagree about hopkins vs Floyd. Hopkins vs Floyd and Poyer- idk. Poyers my favorite player and I still MIGHT take hopkins. Difference being- we’d have Rapp to take Poyers place. It’s a fall off for sure…. But I think the difference between hopkins and Davis is massive
  20. That’s why I said maybe over floyd and Poyer. I agree. Hopkins is a risk. I don’t think as big a risk as some do. He had been healthy for 99% of his career. Had one injury, took some illegal substances and was suspended for half the season. It’s not like he was really hurt last season, he just didn’t want to risk any more injury (imo) while they were tanking with no QB. there’s risk that he faces an even longer suspension if he takes more illegal substances, but I don’t think he’ll be that stupid. I don’t think there’s any more risk in him missing time to initial than there is for Poyer.
  21. We’ll be fine with my new boys Kincaid, Harty and Sherfield 😘 we just have to worry about everyone’s boys, Spencer Brown and Ken Dorsey!
