Hard News Story

On Friday, March 22, 2013 a large boulder was dumped into a private lot between Dixie Palm Hotel and Best Western Coral Hills. A man left the boulder in the lot, with no permission from hotel employees, instead of dumping it in the proper location. This boulder is a symbol of the lack of knowledge of where to dispose of certain items, such as the giant boulder. It could also symbolize a lack of care in St. George for keeping our city clean and areas undisturbed. The hotels have no knowledge of the man who did this, and have yet to remove the boulder from its current location.

The boulder resides in between the two hotels and is around 4 feet in length or larger.

The boulder is in clear view of passing cars on St. George Blvd.
