TRAFFIC SUCKS! We can all agree on that! But everyone is not willing to agree on the "Zipper Merge"! But it's FAR MORE EFFECTIVE!

Alberta Motor Association

What is a Zipper Merge? According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, a Zipper Merge is specifically set up for vehicles to merge from two lanes into one lane in a zipper fashion. This keeps traffic flowing. Each car should alternate zipper fashion into the remaining open lane just before the point of closure.

With the Zipper Merge, this means you stay in your lane until the road actually forces you to merge into a new lane. DO NOT MERGE MILES IN ADVANCE.

In March of 2022, the Utah State Legislature has passed a new law to require drivers to zipper merge when approaching a closed lane on a congested road. States across the country are adopting these laws to help cut down on traffic, and it's actually helping! The Zipper Merge is cutting traffic down by a whopping 40%!

Today I received a call from my sister... A call nobody wants to receive: One of your FAVORITE ITEMS is off the menu and one of your FAVORITE RESTAURANTS!

Larsen's Frostop is a beloved old-fashion drive-in in St. George. I've been there for years and I usually get ABOUT the same thing. A Corndog, A Grilled Cheese, or a Queen Burger, but instead of fries I always got something else... PICCADILLY CHIPS.

Today I've been made aware that Larsen's Frostop has put an end to the Piccadilly Chips, and I'm not happy. What is a Piccadilly Chip? I have no idea. According to Google, a Piccadilly Chip is "Authentic Battered Dipped English Style Fries. A flavor so rich you will come back for more!" Well, guess what Frostop? I can't come back for more now. You've killed the Piccadilly Chip! I hope you're happy!

Orange Julius was in the Food Court at the mall. The Food Court that LITERALLY doesn't exist anymore, directly outside of Bohme and Dillards. I miss you, Orange Julius.

Sizzler:

Yes, I know Cedar City still has Sizzler, but St. George used to have one too! Right on St. George Boulevard. The current location is home to Alta Bank and looks NOTHING like a Sizzler!

JB's:

St. George had a JB's, and even Hurricane had a JB's. It was like, a little Dennys, kind of... But they had a buffet! The breakfast buffet was MY FAVORITE!! The JB's location is currently home to Zupas!

2 Fat Guys Pizza:

2 Fat Guys Pizza had a HORRIBLE location, but AMAZING pizza! It was in the little shopping center to the south of Walmart in Bloomington. Hungry Howies and Peppers Cantina are in the same spot that 2 Fat Guys used to be in. It was wood fired pizza, and delicious. After 2 Fat Guys left, MULTIPLE pizza places came into the same location and just couldn't make it work.

Charlie's:

Charlie's was a cute little restaurant that had ice cream, and soup, and sandwiches and always had a jukebox playing music. I miss Charlie's ALL THE TIME! Especially when I get sick. I miss that Chicken Noodle Soup. Charlie's location is now home to Swig on St. George Boulevard.
