I think the main problem with LAX is the sheer amount of traffic it receives. According to Wikipedia it is the 5th busiest airport in the world by traffic movement. It also served just under 59 million passengers, versus SLX's 21 million. Shutting down even one terminal for construction would cause a lot of trouble. Hopefully they can figure out something to increase the quality of the airport, but I doubt that much will happen soon.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576418514031730254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354460320248894820.post-49167535986997844722011-10-18T00:05:34.263-06:002011-10-18T00:05:34.263-06:00Every time I read your blog I start salivating at ...Every time I read your blog I start salivating at the food you talk about.

It is a pretty good-sized thing; not quite a meal on its own, but toss in a piece of fruit and it'd make a nice lunch.

A french style bakery with a simple interior and the pastries are incredible. You should try the shortbread(pack of 6), gougeres(French cheese puff), and the frangipane croissant. You won't be disappointed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537209912414449112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354460320248894820.post-88022861804738358902011-09-26T23:30:41.284-06:002011-09-26T23:30:41.284-06:00I have to agree with you on Hiers' fries.

Hires has a drive-in, or you can dine inside. When using the drive-in, you pull up outside, look at the menu, and flash your lights when you're ready to order. If you dine in, you just take a seat and a waitress comes over to take your order. Either way, it doesn't have that stressful assembly line feel that is unfortunately part of the In-N-Out restaurant experience.<br /><br />Also, as Rebecca noted, the ice cream is awesome. And I think I'm going to mosey on down that direction right now to check out that chocolate shake with brownie chunks.Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329266742893148392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354460320248894820.post-88982865405087474952011-09-23T15:17:04.232-06:002011-09-23T15:17:04.232-06:00Moochies is a excellent restaurant, sadly one of t...Moochies is a excellent restaurant, sadly one of the few in Utah. I have never been impressed by the local eatery options in Utah (I can count the ones I love on one hand), but I am always looking for new options.<br /><br />I will admit that I have heard of Hires being a prime option in Utah, but I have always heard it being compared as "Almost as good as In and Out." I am not a fan of 'In and Out', and due to that I have never tried Hires.<br /><br />So my question becomes, is Hires like 'In and Out' or is a completely different burger experience?Nick H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07568996283737755042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354460320248894820.post-77022107540449063012011-09-19T12:53:24.479-06:002011-09-19T12:53:24.479-06:00Aw, shucks, looks like I'll have to go again =...Aw, shucks, looks like I'll have to go again =) Thanks for the tip!Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329266742893148392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354460320248894820.post-50090261784902954012011-09-19T10:00:57.922-06:002011-09-19T10:00:57.922-06:00I love Hires!
