AT COSTCO

I'll have to investigate if these signs are posted at other Costco's .

It seems appropriate though for West Valley ;)

Chinese House Progress

Oh YEAH!!! I KNEW there there would be some MASSIVE steps. Didn't I tell you?

ATM

I have absolutely NO idea why people pull up to the drive-thru ATM, get OUT of their car and proceed to withdraw cash. I wouldn't even bother to post this except that 9 times out of ten when I drive by the bank (my local West Valley Branch), this scene is unfolded to my eyes. I'm sorry if your window won't roll down, or you can't figure out how to pull up close enough so you can reach the key pad. But really, wouldn't it be easier to just park your car and use the ATM in the lobby?

Soccer Jerseys

Today I was chilling at Valley Fair Mall. They have a little play area for the kids. As mine were running amok I noticed two boys with soccer uniforms on. I apologize for the teeny tiny pictures, but I only had my cell phone camera handy. The little guy in the yellow is sponsored by "bimbo" which in all fairness IS a mexican brand of snack cakes, but bimbo?! really. Okay, the other guy in the red is sponsored by; drum roll please..........................Corona (as in the beer) Well I guess they just go together, mexican snack cakes and mexican beer. This is classic West Valley.

Pajama Party

I saw this lady and her kid dressed in their jammies at Walmart. She looked like the pink panther. This is why I only go to Walmart once a month.

Strange People

Okay. So I was standing in line at Costa Vida the other day. I was by the menu boards on the wall. The menu was on my right and I was facing the order counter. Some old guy stands like 6 inches away from my left side and STARES at the menu board. I clear my throat and say "Um, that's kinda uncomfortable" to which he replies "Are you talking to me?" "Yes" "What did you say?" "Um, nevermind *as I try and scoot forward a bit more* "Okay"

Then I hear him turn to his companion and say "Strange people."

Yeah, WHO was the one standing 6 inches away from me and getting in my personal space? Did you not see me there?

REALLY!

My Sugar's Donut Shopp

Excellence in Donuts is an understatement. Last week I stopped by and they were sold out at 10:30 in the morning. Must arrive early for best selection. Not diet friendly. Super yummy.

I know you want one...

Communal Mailbox

I remember about 10 years ago when I went to visit my grandmother who lives in West Valley. I had something to deliver to her, and she was not at home. No problem, I'd just leave it in the mailbox. WRONG. I searched her entire porch. No mailbox. I went down to the curb. No mailbox. Guess what? The US postal service and/or West Valley City thinks that they can have one of these for every 20 houses. Annoying to the MAX. Someday I want to live in a neighborhood where these don't exist.

Ettiquette?

What exactly is proper etiquette for wanting to be nice to a neighbor, but not really wanting them to know who you are and where exactly you live? My dilemma: The husband/father of neighbors down the street was killed in a drive-by shooting last week. I took them a plant and a card and knocked, but no one answered. I hope it brings them some comfort. I hope they find some peace real soon.

Dolce and Gabana

I don't really know what it is with Dolce and Gabana. There seems to be a proficient amount of D and G window clings in West Valley.

Chinese House Progress

Drove by today. This is what I saw. I ask again, where is the front door? Are they going to build some huge stair case, like a palace? We'll just have to wait and find out :)

Food for sale

This guy came peddling food from a shopping cart.

He found a few customers on my street.

Chinese House

Don't you love the dragons on the roof?

And WHERE is the front door?

Port -A- Potty

I KNOW I wouldn't see this in Daybreak.
