IF you're like me, you grew up watching sitcoms. Maybe you'd run home from school and turn one on, or you'd sit with your family on Friday nights and watch TGIF on ABC. Maybe you'd say their catch phrases in your everyday life... like "You got it, dude!", "Have Mercy!", "Did I Do That?" But, what if these families lived here in St. George? What neighborhoods would they call home?

Here is where the families from 90's sitcoms would live in St. George:

The Banks Family (Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air):

The Banks family lived in a massive home in Bel-Air, California. They were a very well-off family in an expensive neighborhood. This one is the easiest one in my book... The Banks family would live in the gated community of Stone Cliff, here in St. George!

The Connors: (Roseanne):

One of my favorite sitcoms from the 90's was Roseanne. They were REAL! They showed struggle, they showed money issues, and they were trying to make ends meet. I'm putting the Connors in Dog Town Washington! If you're not aware, Dog Town is the area by the Washington City Community Center. That's a blue-collar area, and I feel like that they would absolutely live out there!

The Tanners (Full House):

The Tanner family lived in San Francisco, California. I don't know how the afforded to pay the bills. The homes in San Francisco are gorgeous, but EXPENSIVE! If the Tanners lived in St. George, they would be out in Desert Color! Desert Color is a more boujee area, with expensive homes that feel very "California."

Seinfeld:

Jerry and Kramer were next door neighbors in their apartment building, but George and Elaine are out somewhere else in the city. But they're all RIGHT in the city near Central Park, and coffee shops in New York City. If these guys lived in St. George, they would definitely be in the new tall condos off of Tabernacle. There's a couple coffee shops around, the park at Town Square, and it's downtown as well!

The Matthews (Boy Meets World):

The Matthews family is from Philadelphia. Their home is in a gorgeous neighborhood with big yards, old trees, and it looks a lot like the homes built nearly 100 years ago. For the Matthews, they would absolutely live downtown in St. George near the Brigham Young home.

The Taylors (Home Improvement):

This one is more difficult. The Taylors lived in Detroit, Michigan... But their house was NEVER shown, so I can't even tell what type of architecture they had. But I can tell you they were in a safe neighborhood because their kids were gone all day and they weren't worried. The Taylor family would definitely live in Bloomington Hills. That neighborhood is old, but safe. They've also got older neighbors full of wisdom like Wilson was.

This Is What It Was Like Growing Up In The 90's In Southern Utah!

Let's go back to a simpler time. A better time. The 90's! HANDS DOWN the BEST decade to ever grow up in!

Here's a list of things we all did in the 90's that sound TOTALLY problematic today!

LANDLINES:

Remember calling a guy or girl and having the ABSOLUTE BALLS to ask their parent's if you could talk to their kid? Not only THAT... But you would sit on the phone for hours hoping your other family members aren't listening to EVERYTHING you're saying in the other room!

DOORS UNLOCKED:

I don't know where you're from, but here in St. George, our doors were always unlocked! Night time, day time, it didn't matter! Our doors were NEVER locked!

Cooking:

How old were you when you were cooking full meals for yourself? I was at least 5 years old making Top Ramen on the stove. BOILING WATER? A 5 YEAR OLD? What could possibly go wrong?!

Gone... ALL DAY:

I was NEVER home as a kid. I'm talking like... 7 here. My parents had absolutely no clue where I was at! I was blocks, sometimes miles away from home with my buddies just hanging out, riding bikes!

Home Alone:

My sister is seven years older than me, and I can remember my mom leaving me home alone when she would take her to school... My sister was in SIXTH GRADE! That means I would have been four! Four years old, waking up alone, making myself breakfast!

Halloween:

On Halloween every year, I see parents walking their kids door to door. ABSOLUTELY NOT! I was never with my parents. Even in Kindergarten. If my parents would've even mentioned going with me on Halloween I would've laughed them out of the room! Me and my buddies were gone all night, and we were SO FAR from home!

YIKES: Southern Utah's UGLIEST Eye Sores!

What is an "Eye Sore"? Google gives the definition of "Something displeasing to the sight."

St. George, Utah is GORGEOUS... But it definitely has it's fair share of Eye Sores around town... Here are some of the TOP EYE SORES according to Southern Utah's Citizens!

The question of "What are some of the WORST EYE SORES in Southern Utah??", was posted onto the Facebook group: St. George Word Of Mouth. Here are some of the TOP EYE SORES!

Jim McCune says "The big red hillside scar by the D takes the cake!":

I've noticed this my whole life here in St. George and it looks pretty awful. I'm not exactly sure what the plan was here... But It's taken a ton of beauty away from that hillside.

These boarded up condos off Bluff Street that are LITERALLY falling off the hill:

I believe the culprit is BLUE CLAY. The homes are quite literally sliding off this hill. The homes look condemned and boarded up. I know a few have been removed out of fear of them crashing down into Pier 49 Pizza.

The old Dairy Queen also off Bluff Street:

The old Dairy Queen building is just below the condemned condos, and they've been gone for probably close to 8 years now. I had many great memories in this building... and now: It just looks HAUNTED AND SPOOKY!

This new... Dead Weed, Dead Tree, Gravel Area at the Bloomington Walmart:

I was driving home from the Bloomington Walmart the other day and noticed THIS monstrosity! It used to be a grass area where people would eat, and play with their dogs. But apparently the drought made them pull the grass out and put in gravel. Now the trees are dying, the bushes are dying... and lots of weeds too. It's pretty bad.

MOST SHOCKING COMMENT:
Julie Caplin says "The New Mormon Temple in Washington":

This one totally surprised me. I have no affiliation to this temple, but MAN, I think it's a gorgeous building. Is this an EYE SORE? What do you think?!
