Breathtaking View Of Southern Utah From Google Maps
If you ask the average person what superpower they would like, you might get replies like, "X-ray vision,'" or "Super speed," or even "Limitless strength."
But a large portion of people would definitely respond that it would be super cool to be able to fly.
The ability to get somewhere fast, without having to worry about traffic lights or roadways, would be amazing.
And the ability get to the top of a mountain or rescue your cat from the top of a tree would also be outstanding.
But the biggest thing might be the view.
Imagine the incredible vistas, the new perspectives, the chance to reevaluate how you look at the world.
While getting a wish for superpowers granted would be fun, it's highly unlikely that a genie is going to drop in at your house and ask what you want.
Spending a few minutes on Google Earth is about as close as we're going to be able to get.
That's what I did and it was fun to get a new perspective on some of the sites and locales that make us unique here in southern Utah.
While the photos are a few years old and we're still growing like crazy here in this area, I screen-capped a few of the hot spots to give you a new perspective.
Chick-fil-A Might Just Owe You Some Money
A recent lawsuit against Chick-fil-A has been settled, with the retail chicken restaurant agreeing to pay hundreds, perhaps thousands of customers for deceptive advertising.
The bad news: you have to have ordered from their delivery menu in the states of California, Florida, New York, New Jersey or Georgia.
But if you were in any of those states in 2019, 2020 or the first half of 2021, you may be entitled to a $29.25 gift card.
The claims must be made by Feb. 15 and the amount of money Chick-fil-A must pay is finite, meaning a high number of claimants may mean less money for each.
Apparently Chick-fil-A raised its prices on its delivery menu without informing the consumer, despite claims of "free delivery" or "low prices.
There is a page created for those wishing to make a claim against Chick-fil-A here.
According to the settlement page,
- Eligible Settlement Class Members who elect to receive a Cash Settlement Award will receive a cash payment up to $29.25.
- Eligible Settlement Class Members who elect to receive a Gift Card Settlement Award will receive a Chick-fil-A, Inc. e-gift card with a balance up to $29.25. Sales tax will be charged on orders redeemed with the Chick-fil-A, Inc. e-gift card.
Chick-fil-A is a fast-food chicken restaurant that was founded in 1946 by a gentleman named Truett Cathy. The restaurant, with two locations in St. George, is immensely popular, especially its chicken sandwich with breaded, fried chicken breasts.
The restaurant has been in the news lately for its refusal to stay open on Sundays.
The Chick-fil-A website defends the practice with this statement:
"Our founder, Truett Cathy, made the decision to close on Sundays in 1946 when he opened his first restaurant in Hapeville, Georgia. Having worked seven days a week in restaurants open 24 hours, Truett saw the importance of closing on Sundays so that he and his employees could set aside one day to rest, enjoy time with their families and loved ones or worship if they choose — a practice we uphold today."
Industry insiders say the restaurant loses out on perhaps $1-billion a year by being closed on Sundays.
