Although I'm originally from back East, I have lived in Utah since 1998! We are in Ogden now ( GREAT historic district here). In the Spring of 2017, my husband and I spent a weekend in St. George and we LOVED IT! We got a pear soda at the General Store, toured homes, went on walks , and ate yummy food! Great town!!!!

@EllieDashwood Год назад

Ogden has so many cool places! 😃 And that is so awesome that you enjoyed your visit to St. George! It sounds like an awesome time! 😃

@mangoslush6336 9 месяцев назад

Raised in vegas since I was seven and still live there. My family and I have visited St George at least twice a year for over 15 years. Great city!

@Hikarisati2024 Год назад

A cute town, it was nice to get a tour. I live in Europe and while I visited US, it was usually the more touristy areas, so this was a very nice insight 😊❤

@EllieDashwood Год назад

That's so cool that you live in Europe! I visited once and was amazed by how old buildings were and how many of them there were! Where I live if something is over a hundred years old it's considered special. 😂

@penultimateh766 Год назад

Cute town! It has more green space than I expected.

@EllieDashwood Год назад

In the old parts of town there are so many mature trees!

@cheesybobmonkey Год назад

Totally called it! From several of your posts, I was thinking you must live in central or southern Utah. I'm from Utah too. Originally from SLC. I've driven through St. George several times but only stayed in a motel there once. The A.C. didn't work and it was summer. 😅 That was an interesting experience. Fun to see some of the historic sites there.

@isawa6649 Год назад

Beautiful hometown. Loved the shop , the lizard and the wooden guitar.

@EllieDashwood Год назад

Aw! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 😃🦎🎸

@PokhrajRoy. Год назад

That library and the shop at the end were just (chef’s kiss)! Honorary mention to the American style theatre front that I love.

@EllieDashwood Год назад

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And I wish all movie theaters still looked like that. It would be so cool!

@PokhrajRoy. Год назад

The whole photography bit made me think: “Gonna tell my kids this was the Dashwood Sisters collabing on a project.”

@EllieDashwood Год назад

😂 The Dashwood Sisters sounds like a band.

@dianethulin1700 Год назад

This is interesting to see. I have had family here since its inception and have memories of staying with family, waking up and seeing the temple out their kitchen window in the 1970's. It has grown so much!

🎉 St. George is a sweet little place.🎉 Fell in love with the delicious breakfast 🥞 at the 🐻Bear Paw Cafe driving 🚘 through from LA one year. 😋It had us dropping back over & again to check out more of the local sights. 🤩 Love the charming architecture & history. Beautiful desert terrain too. Even went back one year, so my bestie could run in their marathon🏃‍♂️. Friendly, family oriented folks. 😊Appreciated your tour. Learning about it from your perspective. Seeing how it has changed. 🎸Great guitar. All the art adds a cosmopolitan air to the tiny town. Enjoyed the antique & thrift shops. Lovely meeting your sis. 📷 Sweet photos! 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct) 📩ps Avoid visiting St. George in ☀️Summer or you may roast in the extreme heat🥵. (At least it's a dry heat👍). Spring seems more of an ideal time to stop by & explore.

@kodamaakemi9758 Год назад

Okay, finally had a moment to watch. I think it's really cool that you live by a historic area. I actually live about a half an hour's drive away from historic downtown Fredericksburg, VA. Pretty much every summer they have this competition called the Itty Bitty City where they post around 30 to 40 images of obscure things across the area in the newspaper, so I grew up visiting the area many times during the summer with my mom and siblings. Doesn't hurt that my mom has always been interested in historical markers and such. That lizard looked really cool! Those pictures your sister took of you looked great! Jane Austen cameo! 😂 That consignment store really IS fancy! My parents have really gotten into visiting consignment stores recently. My dad likes buying mini lighthouse statues to put on his shelf designed like a lighthouse, but he's gotten so many that they don't all fit on it. 😂 Keep being awesome yourself, Ellie!

@Elizabetha2514 Год назад

I LOVE Fredericksburg!!!!❤

@EllieDashwood Год назад

That sounds so cool about Fredericksburg! The east coast probably has a lot more historic downtowns than out west. Also, I feel compelled to go to the Austen section of every library. I have to say hi to it. 😂 Also, that's so funny about the lighthouses not all fitting on a lighthouse shelf. 😂

@darkskyes5339 Год назад

@jamesonstalanthasyu Год назад

Oh that's nice. I used to volunteer with Best Friends for about 20years and have driven from Los Angeles to Kanab, and stayed there in St George many times. So many familiar spots.

@lindsaygale5279 Год назад

Ooo I love going to St George to see all the plays at their unique outdoor theatre Tuacahn! You should totally see if you can do a backstage tour or something and make a video of it!

@eight-ball3625 Год назад

This is amazing. I’m so grateful to stumble on it. So many post pros and cons of stuff George with brief views of the area. And nothing about actually living there with lovely landscape pictures of actual places in town. I wish you’d make one of Santa Clara and Ivins as well. Trying to decide where I might like to live.

@tayja Год назад

Hey I didn’t know you were in Utah too! I’m near the Salt Lake area ❤ So funny, I’ve been watching your videos for a while and had no idea 😆

@tayja Год назад

@@EllieDashwood you might think that, but St George is where we go for vacation, I love it there! Excited to see the video 😊

@GoldenGarden9 Год назад

Loved the tour -- thanks Ellie :) So much resonated: I love "Old Town" parts of cities (historic stuff, etc.). I live just a mile and a half from a wonderful carousel. It's always great to see old stuff (typically headed for town dump) repurposed into interesting art work. Some items are not necessarily pleasing to the eye and perhaps SHOULD go to the dump. This guitar was "cool." I also thrive on thrift stores and, like you, most of my stuff -- especially clothing -- has come from thrift stores so I don't even try to enter them in the Thrift Store talent contest. I'm just grateful to get some good wear out of them. Great photos ladies. My compliments to the model and the photographer. 🧡

@EllieDashwood Год назад

Aw, thank you so much! And Old Town parts of cities are so cool. That's awesome that you have a carousel too. 😃 And thrift stores are the best!

@bakedvegan6379 Год назад

so cool! I believe a few of the Sister Wives show adult children live there :)

That's pretty cool :) It looks quite peaceful. And so cool you got to work with your Sister in her photoshoot, you aré a beautiful model 🥰

@EllieDashwood Год назад

I would have guessed that you were an east coast girl, Wow! St. George. was just there two weeks ago, I'm a retired old man living in Cedar City, Ut only recently enjoying all things Austen mainly thru movies. not much of a reader, I do enjoy your videos from time to time, thank you for making them available.

@technoir2584 Год назад

I was born and raised in St. George. Went to school at Sunset Elementary Woodward 6th grade center Snow Canyon middle and Dixie High. I used to get breadsticks and cheese at the Judds store they had some really good breadsticks and cheese. I moved to the mid-west in the 02. I miss the weather there. Too much humidity here. Sure looks a lot different now than what I remember, but some things haven't changed.

@aeolia80 Год назад

I know my grandfather was born in Blanding Utah, but I think he grew up in St. George. I've been to neither, actually I've never been to southern Utah at all, only ever all the towns near SLC including Utah Valley and then to Vernal (where I usually would go if I did go)

@aeolia80 Год назад

There's this guy I used to know from when I was like 24 or something (I'm 42 now, lol) that owns a salon in St. George. Don't really remember the name, desert room, desert lounge, something, lol, I don't remember, what I do remember was the dude was pretty good with hair

@EllieDashwood Год назад

That is so cool! It would have been a completely different town when he lived here. Things have changed so much. Though a lot of the historic buildings in this video would have been around! The SLC area has so many cool things to do and see!

@KerrikkiLurgan Год назад

Ancester park is the area I have seen of your town. We spent an evening there when we were passing through Utah. I do have fond memories of the place.

@drownzi Год назад

love this vlog! love the pioneer buildings! ♥️ i’m biased cuz i’m LDS haha

There is a ton of LDS history here. In fact, “Utah History Class” in 8th grade could have actually been titled “LDS History Class.” 😂 There is no real separating the two.

Nice video. Living in Hurricane, have been for 5 years, do you think we will really run out of water? Looking at houses here right now but the one thought that keeps me up at night is will we run out of water, and in the future could investing in a house here for one's self turn into a bust financially one day?

@qienna6677 Год назад

@AndrielleHillis Год назад

St. George looks like a really cool and funky city. If I ever moved to Utah, I would want to live there. Salt Lake and Provo just seem too bland. Then again, I could be wrong. Anyway, I also heard from another RU-vidr who lives in St. George that physical fitness is pretty big there as well...

@EllieDashwood Год назад

SLC has so much more to do and way more diversity in everything! I love St George but we are definitely limited. Though we have way better weather and hiking! I would agree physical fitness is pretty big here. One thing about Utah is it’s highly appearance based (SLC got named the vainest city in America. UT has one of the highest plastic surgery rates too. And there is definitely a “look” everyone is supposed to have.). Growing up here I thought that was normal until I went other places. Then I was like “Ohhhhhh, I live in an unusual little bubble.” 😂

@@EllieDashwood I'm super curious to know if you feel social pressure to look or dress a certain way living in Utah? I lived there once for 9 months and it was so noticeable and strange to me.

@faithful2thecall Год назад

8:53 The Music Man! I've been in a stage production of that. Was it a stage production or was a movie theater showing the old movie? The weather on the day you filmed this would probably be shorts and t-shirt weather up here in Minnesota where I live currently. 😂

@EllieDashwood Год назад

I think it was an old movie! They have been running a series of showing movies from different decades every month. I’ve been wanting to go but forget always. 😂 Also, I’m 100% acclimatized to hot desert weather so anything below 60 degrees makes me cold. And honestly the 70s is questionable too. 😂

@faithful2thecall Год назад

@@EllieDashwood I'm not a huge movie buff, but that was a good movie with Robert Preston, Shirley Jones, and a young Ron Howard. I'd probably forget too unless they were showing something I really wanted to see. 😂 That's a fair point about the weather, as your body acclimates to the climate you live in so when its abnormal it can definitely throw your body off. Warmer weather is definitely appealing, especially since it was 9 degrees here during the premiere, which is colder than usual for this time of year. 🥶 I stopped enjoying winter as much about the time I turned 16 other than wanting to have some snow for Christmas. No idea why that happened. 😝

You have to be very rich to live here after your lease is up the realtors or developer or builders will raise your rent over 25 %.They dont care if you are on a fixed INCOME they want the Money its GREED pure and SIMPLE, plus Saint George has a city tax for goods and services on top of the state tax ...THE CITY POLITICIANS like the business people all they care about are them selves THEY DONT CARE ABOUT PEOPLE OVER 50 THEY want MORE MONEY MORE CARS BIGGER HOUSES
