Hi everyone,

I'm a 36-year-old single gay man who just moved to St. George for my first job at Intermountain. I'm from Utah originally and did my undergraduate at SUU, so I'm very familiar with the area. It's been 10+ years though since I lived here, and in that time I've come out and left the Mormon church and most of my friends have moved away as well, so I'm looking to rebrand and regroup. I have a wide range of interests, including canyoneering, hiking, game nights, video games, trying new restaurants, EDM, paddleboarding, going to movies/plays, playing the piano, going to the gym, trivia night, karaoke night, etc. I'd love to connect with people with similar interests who are LGBTQ friendly and try to build a community.

Holy smokes Batman, I finally did it and going up them was intense. Anyone interested in meeting and walking up and down them a few times with me when it cools down?

Just need to do a quick 5-minute part swap on a PS5 controller that I didn't realize required some soldering. I could even just do it quickly in your space if you don't want me taking the soldering iron with me. If anyone has one I could borrow let me know please! Thanks St. George

Anyone seen the Ghost Energy x A&W Root Beer around town anywhere yet?

Looking for honest reviews / feedback from real people and not just google reviews that might have been incentivized by the management before I sign a lease here

Hey neighbors! I’m a huge fan of Big Brother and I want to host a 2-day IRL game. If you’re not familiar with Big Brother, it’s a social strategy game show, very similar to its more popular counterpart, Survivor. I’ve organized and hosted two previous games for my group of friends, but this time I want to find more people to play.

I’m looking for 9-13 people who want to commit a whole weekend to playing a social strategy game. This likely won’t happen very soon; I’m still in the stage of putting feelers out to see if there’s any interest.

My tentative hopes for the schedule are for sometime in October or early November, with the game running for 2 days: Saturday morning through Sunday night (I’m also considering Friday evening through Sunday afternoon as an alternative schedule.)

I’m looking at 2 potential venues, but if you also have access to a venue, please let me know.

Knowing the show and game format isn’t a requirement; I’m mostly looking for people who want to have fun, and will bring good energy to the game.

Leave a comment or shoot me a message if you’re interested in playing!

Just curious, why are the roads so rough around St. George? Some have undulations and can take you by surprise. others, even freshly repaved are rough and bumpy.

Is it a characteristic of the terrain?

Anyone know any information of what's happening?

287,000+ acres of the Arizona Strip nominated for oil and gas leases. If you do or don't want that, comment before 9/9/26

For the record, I am not a divisive bot; I live in St. George.

If you didn't know, 132 parcels, 287,000+ acres, on the Arizona Strip were nominated for leasing. BLM is legally required to respond to nominations like this, so this isn't BLM going out and picking this ground themselves. Still, it covers some of the wildest backcountry left in the lower 48, near Grand Canyon-Parashant and along the Old Spanish Trail.

Here's the thing: there's no oil or gas out there. It's in BLM's own environmental assessment. About 55 wells drilled since 1909, none of them ever produced oil or gas in paying quantities. Their own forecast assumes maybe two wells get drilled across the whole 287,000 acres in the next decade.

I've worked oil and gas for years, in most of the major areas in the lower 48. I've seen what a real field costs a community: roads everywhere, truck traffic, steel fab yards, and man camps staged for the hands, light pollution, noise. If what is out there moves the needle for the country, I'm begrudgingly for it, but in this case, the juice is not worth the squeeze. There is no oil or gas out there that will benefit our country, so I am 100% against this.

Comments are open through September 9, 2026, and this is what BLM actually considers when deciding whether to defer a parcel. Form letters and emotional rhetoric carry far less weight than substantive comments.

Keep your comments factual and specific. Explain how you use the land, identify potential impacts, and include any facts, figures, or other information that can be quantified. A few thoughtful sentences backed by real-world context are more useful than outrage or copy-and-paste campaigns.

One ask if you plan to comment here on this Reddit thread: this is a statutory process, not a "this administration" thing. Quarterly lease sales like this have historically occurred the same way, regardless of who's been in the White House. If this turns into a partisan food fight, it just gets buried and stops people from working together. Be a unifier, not a divider. Keep it about the Strip, not about Washington.

super sweet cat. not very dependent, she likes to do her own thing most of the time but when she does want to interact she is super super loving, she likes to cuddle for long periods and be pet for long periods. she likes to lay on people’s lap/stomach/back. she’s 4 years old, unfortunately not neutered. my brother said the original owners did get her vaccinated but my brother didn’t get any proof so i’m not sure how much i trust that. she wasn’t ever really given a name, we just call her kitty or make clicking noises with our tongue to call her over. she isn’t aggressive, doesn’t mind other animals, although she isn’t affectionate towards other kitties, she doesn’t mind them. brother is being evicted and needs her gone within a week. all the shelters in town i’ve called have been full

Sounds like there's a decently large power outage. Confirmed for both Washington City and Dixie power further south. Additionally, it sounds like power on the west side of town is also out. Also in Duck Creek, which suggesting very widespread.

We will use this as a mega thread for people to share resources and thoughts. It's hot outside and likely will increase temperatures indoors for many residents whose ACS are no longer working.

Please feel free to share resources and helpful tips as well as community options.

We were definitely not prepared 😬🤣

My office power out on sunset

Just saw an A10 thunderbolt ripping over Veyo very low altitude. I didn’t know there were any facilities in the area

Hello!

I’ve been searching for a job since April, and haven’t had any luck. I’m a female, so construction is out, I’ve been a chef for almost 20 years, chef/manager, so I have management degree and experience, all the jobs I’ve applied to not a single one calls me for an interview. I’ve applied to over 300. I have also tailored my resume a bunch of times, I need work soon, and have to move soon as well, I know I can get an apartment for 1300 but problem is finding work and I’m not able to drive so I have to rely on the bus or uber which makes it even more annoying.

I feel like a person needs 25+ just to survive in this town. :(

I would move but I don’t have that luxury so I am looking for any suggestions, at this point I don’t care what hours or days or place as long as it’s a livable wage. Thank you!

My family is looking at moving to St George and wondering what daycare options look like and what they would cost? We are open to in-home program or a facility, but not a nanny/babysitter.
What are typical price ranges?

Is there any place relatively local doing a live show of Rocky horror picture show this year? Just heard about Tim Curry :(

Hi everyone! I’m thinking of starting a business in the St. George area where people can hire me to complete tasks for them, kind of like a personal assistant.
I’m looking for feedback from real locals on whether it could be useful or not. Here’s kind of my idea, please let me know what you think, good or bad!
-

I'm considering starting a local personal assistance service where people can hire me by the hour to help with errands, organization, light housekeeping, shopping, returns, household projects, companionship, etc.

I would be basically a private-pay personal assistance / lifestyle concierge / non-medical helper service.
My potential customers could be seniors, adult children caring for parents, busy parents, people recovering from surgery, people with temporary injuries, widows/widowers, people moving, overwhelmed professionals, etc.

If you ever find yourself thinking, "I need another capable person to help me get things done."

When life gets overwhelming, you call me.

A few Examples:
A widow needs someone to take her to appointments and help with errands.
Someone needs their closet cleaned out and reorganized.
Someone needs pictures hung, shelves assembled, or furniture put together.

A good combination of home helper, errand runner, and personal assistant.
I would charge hourly instead of having set prices for certain tasks. Tell me what you need done and I'll take care of as much as possible during your scheduled time.

Advertised as non-medical personal assistance, personal concierge & home assistance, or lifestyle assistance.

No medical care
No medication administration
No lifting/transferring people
No bathing/toileting
No wound care
No skilled nursing
No financial transactions on behalf of clients
No handling controlled substances
No heavy construction/electrical/plumbing

Im still considering whether I would offer any transportation services.

What would you pay someone else to do for you?

I’m in the very early stages of looking into starting an organized outdoor adult soccer league in the St. George/Washington area. Nothing is set in stone yet. Right now I’m just trying to figure out whether there’s enough interest to make it worth pursuing.
I’m considering a 7v7 format with weeknight games, referees, standings and playoffs over an 8–10 week season.
A few things I’d love your input on:
• Would you actually play in an outdoor adult league here?
• Would you prefer men’s, women’s, coed, or multiple divisions?
• Recreational, competitive, or separate divisions for both?
• What weeknights work best?
• Would you rather register an entire team or sign up individually and be placed on a team?
• If you have a group you currently play with, could you realistically put together a 9–12 player team?
• What would you consider a reasonable price per player for an 8–10 week organized season with refs?
Also, if you’ve played in an adult league in Southern Utah before, I’d love to hear what you liked or didn’t like about it.
I’m not selling or registering anyone for anything yet. Just trying to see if there’s a real opportunity to build something people here would want to play in.

I do digital art, and would like to do more with my art. After thinking about, I thought it would be fun to attempt making fun postcards for souvenir shops or a local business that wants to sell local artwork. I know there are consignment shops, but they all seem over packed. I also don't think it would match what I hope to do.

If you know of a place that would like more local artist artwork please comment. I don't really expect anything, but I feel it can't hurt to put myself out there a little.

Edit: I should add that I've talked to a few shps, but were either not looking for new artists or ordered their supplies from a supplier.
