Intersection of Music and Fabric







Among the many things I do in life, I drive a truck all around the state for a University entity. Each place I go is interesting in its own right. I enjoy seeing the black roundy dog that yaps at you if you make the wrong turn to Tremonton. I stop occasionally at the latino markets and food establishments all around the very west side. Vernon makes you wonder about human relations and if I would go crazy in such a small town, etc... So I am now going to try to document these places even more so. I will try to occasionally post about the establisments in these rural communities. Specifically the fabric stores that sustain these communities.

Roosevelt is 2.5 hours out of SLC. It is about 45m west of Vernal. To reach this area you pass Kimball Junction, Heber and Duchesene. Like Duchesene, Roosevelt is surrounded and partially on Native American Reservation Land. Right off the main drag of Roosevelt is Shirley's Fabric and Music. Inside this store you will find a large selection of gingham and flannel


as well as the latest Baby Bash and Dolly Parton albums. OH! and if you need a strap for that guitar you can find it here as well. Now all that's missing is fudge. When I spoke to the owner she told me that in a small town like Roosevelt you have to have a dual purpose store to survive.

Shirely's is the only place to purchase these items other than the internet. I loved this visit to a staple of Roosevelt community.

Next is Payson, I didn't have any interest in this place but again I was taken back. Sorry kids for the lack of posts and the change of post format. We will eventually get back to street stuff. I haven't been as into it after all of the events of last month, bleh.

SLCpomp,

I totally think that including posts like this is what gives amusing and interesting context to all things "style" in Salt Lake City and the surrounding areas. Part of what I love about this blog is your willingness to not take yourselves so seriously, yet still maintain a genuine and unaffected enthusiasm in your contributions. It's almost 2 years now since I left SLC and reading this blog is one of my favorite ways to keep tabs on things back home.
Thank you!

This is horrible. I can think of absolutely no more boring picture than a rack of bolts of fabric. Ditto for terribly composed pictures of bike racks. SERIOUSLY? I thought this blog was about street fashion.
