U and I Sugar Mural in Garland, Utah


Here is another shot that I took last Saturday on our trip up to Logan.

This photo is of a mural that adorns the side of a building in Garland, Utah. The photo is a memorial to the U and I Sugar plant that existed from 1909 to 1979. It appears that that sugar plant was the main employer of the city and once it closed, the city suffered.

This is one of the reasons why I love travel photography so much. It is amazing what you can discover by getting off of that boring Interstate and searching out real America.
