Technically, the longtime location for the Pages Lane Dick's Market is in Centerville, not Bountiful. But it's hard to think of a more iconic hometown establishment than the grocery store that lay a street over from where I grew up. My family shopped there for years, and I even worked there for almost two. I had a deep love-hate relationship for a job that I hated, but that also led to some of my most enduring friendships. In the summer of 2012, the company that owned the store moved it up the road to replace a failing grocery on Parrish Lane, right across the street from Wal-Mart. As of this writing, the old location is still empty.
The various jungle gyms and swing sets of Bountiful Park have changed often over the years, but one mainstay has been the big cement tubes on near the park's southwest corner. I don't know who first had the idea to take old leftover pieces of construction projects and deposit them in public parks, but they've been entertaining kids like my niece (pictured) for years now.
