Video Taken Driving Through St. George and Washington from the 80's 

Someone had their camcorder running as they drove down the Boulevard in St. George and continued on Telegraph around 1987 to 88. I only say those years because they are playing an INXS album as they drive, and it was released in 1987. 

If you lived in Southern Utah or traveled through during that time, these pictures will stir up some fond memories. The most amazing pictures are on Telegraph. There have been just a few changes to that area.

It is video from the 80's long before high definition. Here a shot showing St. Boulevard showing the 7-11 convenience store back when they were far more common and you could get a Slurpee on a hot day.

St. George Boulevard and Main St. without the Zions Bank building. This was long before they added the meridian with all the trees.

This is at the intersection of Telegraph and 3050 E looking towards Costco. The only thing there is the Zions Bank building. This has changed a little bit since then.
