The Old Town of Monroe Utah

So these are some random pictures of the town that we spent Thanksgiving in this year. Brads grandparents were born and raised here as were their children. This is the old Monroe movie theater. Obviously it has not been used for decades, but it is right across the block from Brads grandparents house. In-between is the grade school, and on the other side of that is his grandparents house.
This is an old community center where they used to hold dances and Brads mom said they even had roller skating parties. I would love to see the inside, but I don' think anyone is allowed to go in there now.
Here is the old city library, which as you can tell by the lights in the windows it is still being used.
This is just a neat old well in the park by the grade school.
Here is another shot of the old movie theater, and right next to it is actually one of our favorite new restaurants called Sagebrush Grill. Its inside what used to be the old drug store. It is very nice inside now and they have the BEST food. I've told Brad I could totally retire in this old town if they opened up the movie theater and Sagebrush stayed open. Its our perfect date night right across the street (that is if we move into his grandparents home someday).

I don't know why, but we did not take any pictures of the surrounding mountains and beautiful scenery that is all around this old town. Monroe has become one of my favorite places to visit. Since I have been married to Brad I have been here for many weekends and many holidays and I have many good memories here. One of our favorite things to do when we visit is go 4-wheeling in the mountains.
It was very sad to learn that Brads grandma Weitta Mills passed away a couple weeks before Thanksgiving. In the five years that I knew her she became a very special person in my life, as has grandpa Ivan. Brad adores his grandparents and the many memories that he has spending time with them in this neat part of Utah. Brads mom has been living in their home off and on for a couple years now, and for the last 10 months or so she has been living there permanently. We are very grateful to her for taking such good care of her parents, our grandparents. We had a wonderful time staying with them over Thanksgiving this year.
