Brigham City - If you are ever out and about in Brigham City and want some good home cooking, swing by J&D's Family Restaurant.  Owned by Donna Hamson of Brigham City, it has a hometown feel and the cooking is even better! From the 16 oz ham steak to giant cinnamon rolls, the selection is both varied and delicious. The servers are friendly and have developed friendships with their loyal customers.  The service is fast, and best of all, they serve breakfast all day. So come on in and try a 6-egg "mega omelet" or something a little different—like stuffed peppers or shrimp.

The nationwide Common Core educational standard sticks in the political craw of a number of Utah Republican legislators.

How’s this for a radical idea?

Reject the waiver/federal funding for George Bush’s No Child Left Behind – now widely condemned by Republicans across the land and in Utah – fund the lost federal money to the tune of $26 million, if need be, and see the behinds of both Common Core and No Child Left Behind.
