I think we should all play tourist now and then, right where
we live. It’s easy to get wrapped up in our "quick succession of busy nothings," and become
blind to the awesome and unique around us. One way to fix this is to read some
books on local history, then visit the places where that history happened with
new eyes. Invite an out-of-town friend to come see the sights with you. My
favorite spots include Capitol Hill, Temple Square, Thanksgiving Point, Wheeler
Farm, Gardner Village, and Utah’s Natural History Museum. Attend a sporting
event. Here, that could be basketball at the Vivint Arena, soccer at the Rio
Tinto Center, hockey at the Maverick Center, baseball at the Smiths Ballpark,
or football at the Rice-Eccles or LaVell Edwards stadiums. Leave your car in
the garage and use the bus, a bike or your feet. Push yourself out of your
comfort zone by trying restaurants you never visited before. You won’t regret
it.
