SuperShuttle has moved to Salt Lake City. What is SuperShuttle you ask? SuperShuttle is a shuttle service that picks you up and drops you off at the airport, and picks you up from the airport when you return from your trip. Then, SuperShuttle drops you off at home. It has locations all over the United States and even some overseas, and it has finally moved to Salt Lake City.

This top-of-the-line shuttle service allows you to avoid paying for parking while you travel, and it takes a little weight off your back. You can book online, at the airport, or even download the app. After booking your shuttle, all you have to do is sit back and relax.

SuperShuttle keeps its prices competitive, by fluctuating their price somewhere between that of the cost of public transportation and a private taxi. Through this method, you get a comfortable ride to and from the airport for a really reasonable price, without a large crowd, even though it is a shared shuttle service.

On top of all of the perks to SuperShuttle, the greatest of all being the new location in Salt Lake City, you can even gain rewards points through certain airlines when you use SuperShuttle.

If you are moving to Salt Lake City from out-of-state and have hired a long-distance mover to move your belongings while you fly to Salt Lake, you can download the ShuperShuttle app and have a car waiting for you at the Salt Lake City airport, to then take you to your new home.

One of the most common reasons that people surrender animals to shelters is due to moving, and they think that the move will be too strenuous on the animal. However, with the proper precautions taken, a move can be minimally stressful on animals, and you and your furry friend can stay together. If you are moving to Salt Lake City and you have a rabbit, here are some tips to make moving with your friendly hopper a little easier.

Rabbits are notorious for not handling stress well, which is why they are often dropped off at animal shelters. The best thing you can do to help eliminate stress from your rabbit’s move is to plan ahead. They don’t do well in heat and they need to stay hydrated.

During your trip, keeping your rabbit cool is incredibly important and keeping your car cool should do the trick. In addition to blasting your AC, the pull down shades that you suction cup to your window might also help keep them at a comfortable temperature and create a comfortable moving environment. Leaving your rabbit in a hot car while you go inside somewhere could be detrimental, so do everything you can to avoid leaving them alone for too long.

As for keeping them hydrated, the typical water bottles that you see in rabbit cages might leak while you are on the road. To ensure that your rabbit stays hydrated when you stop at night, whether at your new home or hotel, make sure they drink enough water to catch up for what they didn’t drink overnight. Keeping an eye on their hydration is the key to keeping your rabbit comfortable during the moving process.

Remember, planning ahead is the best way to eliminate stress when you are moving your rabbit!

In cities like Salt Lake City where homelessness has historically been a problem, the new approach that has been in the works for the past decade is welcomed by everyone involved. Instead of leaving people on the streets to be alcoholics, struggle, and be an expensive tax on society, Salt Lake City decided to try something unheard of.

When the right people came together and decided to make a change, something magical happened. Salt Lake City built housing for homeless people that was fully furnished and included therapists. The city figured out that if you help homeless people by giving them housing to move in to, and treating them for the issues that have kept them on the streets, it is actually less expensive.

Homeless people will sometimes tell you that jail is better than being on the streets, so they will purposely commit crimes so that they have a few nights inside, with a bed, and three meals a day. This mentality is exactly what is costing tax payers money. In order to tackle the problem, providing these people with a home of their own, where they have a bed, a TV, and all the amenities that they want, is actually a motivator for them to get their lives back on track. Coupled with counseling that is specific to their issues, homeless people are turning a new leaf in life and getting off the streets. The kicker is it actually costs tax payers less than if they were living on the streets. Homeless people are moving to Salt Lake City so that they can get this boost and start their journey to being a contributing member to society.

Internet access and speed have become increasingly important in our lives. Google recognizes this and has an interest in ensuring people continue to rely on the internet. Google began its Google Fiber initiative in 2010 in Kansas City. Since then, it has slowly rolled out to other areas. Google Fiber just announced Salt Lake City will be the next town to enjoy its super-fast internet. You might notice Google Fiber trucks in your neighborhood, laying the framework in the coming months. Your Salt Lake City relocation specialists are looking forward to it!

Google Fiber’s connection is unparalleled. It offers up to 1,000 megabits per second, which is incredibly fast. Basic Internet is free after an initial setup fee. While the basic internet is not nearly as fast as the paid service (about five Mbps), it is free! The Gigabit Internet package reaches up to 1,000 Mbps with one terabyte of cloud storage for Google Drive, Gmail and Google+ photos for $70 per month. The next package offers the same internet as the Gigabit Internet connection, along with 150+ channels of television with the capability to record eight shows at once for $130 per month. Pretty sweet deal!

Educators are especially excited about Google Fiber, as it offers basic internet service for underprivileged homes. Home internet connection is important for education, as it dictates what kind of homework teachers can assign.

Google Fiber is another reason why moving to Salt Lake City is a good idea. Just seven other cities have Google Fiber or are in the process of construction: Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Kansas City, Nashville, Provo, and Raleigh-Durham.

Nearby conveniences like transit, restaurants, and shopping are big draws for many people when deciding where to move. Because we know this is true, your Salt Lake City packing and moving company was excited to learn about the new plans for Station Center. What is Station Center, you may ask? According to Jason Mathis, executive director of Salt Lake City’s Downtown Alliance, it is a “big deal.”

Salt Lake City planners are mapping out a mixed-use urban area for Station Center. It will include: retail stores, restaurants, bars, apartments, and commercial buildings. It is also very close to Salt Lake Central Station, which is a big draw. The downtown area is in the Depot District, and consists of the two city blocks between 200 South and 400 South, from 500 West to 600 West.

The huge project will need some private investors, so the Salt Lake City’s Redevelopment Agency is courting prominent financiers. One drawback is the area’s homeless population and the homeless services in the neighborhood, but most private investors are not deterred, as the proximity to the transit hub is very appealing. The project is in the developmental stages, so completion is not expected for three to six years. Either way, everyone is excited about the buzz!

Station Center is another sign of the city’s continued growth. If you are moving to Salt Lake City, be sure to keep an eye on Station Center’s development. Once completed, it is sure to be a wonderful place to grab dinner, go shopping, and explore.

Moving to Salt Lake City and unsure if you should rent or buy? You are not alone. A recent study by the National Multifamily Housing Council and the National Apartment Association, found that there has been a sharp uptick in rentals in Salt Lake City over the past few years.

Salt Lake City’s population has been climbing due to its job growth and economy, and that means more young people are moving to the area. Once here, they are not opting for the traditional route of a house and a white picket fence. Instead, many are choosing to rent an apartment, as it offers more flexibility.

Some say renting a home would make them feel trapped, because if the housing market or economy turns sour, selling is not an option. Others say they do not want to take the risk of being upside down in their mortgage. Whatever the case, Salt Lake City builders cannot keep up with the demand. The city typically adds about 1,400 new apartment units; but this year, builders expect to quadruple that number.

The increase in apartments is great for Salt Lake City’s economy. It provides a number of jobs, and last year it added about $347 million to Utah’s state economy. The droves of people moving into these new units are spending their money in Salt Lake City’s stores and establishments, which also contributes to the local economy’s growth.

If you are planning on moving to town, your Salt Lake City relocation company knows you picked a great time to do so. With the increase in apartments, jobs, and the overall development of the economy, you and your family will grow in our wonderful city!

Every family has holiday traditions. If you are new to Salt Lake City, and one of yours was to go out to eat on Easter Sunday, you may not know where to go. But do not worry! Your Salt Lake City relocation specialists know of some great places your family can go to for an Easter dinner, Salt Lake City-style.

• Bambara, an American bistro that serves classic and modern menu items, is offering a brunch buffet from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It will include Chef Nathan Power’s lamb hash with poached eggs and a mint béarnaise sauce, grilled king salmon with caper-dill sauce, and a carving station with organic ham and turkey.
• If you are looking for something a little more causal, Café Trio Cottonwood is perfect, because the Italian restaurant still offers a contemporary feel. Enjoy roasted salmon, artichoke lasagna, French toast, and seasonal fruits. Kids five and younger eat free.
• Looking to eat outdoors? Head to Oasis Café, which offers beautiful patio dining. The Easter Brunch buffet will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Enjoy organic veggies and local meats, along with a prime rib carving station. Kids under three eat free too!
• If a four-course meal is something your family is looking for, look no further than Log Haven. This rustic, upscale restaurant will be serving a “supper” from noon to 5 p.m. The four course meal includes: choice of grilled Duroc pork chops, lemon-rosemary chicken, pan-roasted Scottish salmon, or Angus New York Steak.

While moving to a new place may mean ending some traditions, it also means creating new ones. Whether it is a holiday feast or something your family does every day, Salt Lake City is a wonderful place to begin new customs.

Sometimes there is no better place to take your children than the library. It will broaden their horizons and open up their imaginations. If you recently moved to Salt Lake City, plan your next field trip for the Salt Lake City Public Library System’s newest location in the Glendale area. Your Salt Lake City packing and moving providers hear it is the largest library in the system!

The 20,000 square foot building has tons to offer kids. There are 40,000 books, CDs, newspapers and other reading materials. The new library even has a grand piano inside. The building is decorated with local artists’ work, and several were commissioned to bring the Glendale library to life. The communications manager for Public Library System said that this branch will be a community center as much as it is a library.

The Glendale branch was very much needed, as a large percentage of its residents are under 18 and there are not a whole lot of places for people to meet. The library will provide an educational resource, along with a public space for gatherings and meetings.

Located at 1375 South Concord, the library is in a great location for children. It is just a block away from Glendale Middle School, Mountain View Elementary School, and the Salt Lake School District’s Community Learning Center.

If you recently moved to the Salt Lake City or Glendale area, you will have to check out the new Glendale public library. As the largest branch of the Library System, there are now plenty of resources at your fingertips!

It is getting warmer outside, so you may be craving food with a bit of a hot and spicy kick. If you are new in town and do not know where to go to get your fix, your Salt Lake City packing and moving company suggests you head down to Taco Taco. Located across from the well-reviewed restaurant Cannella’s Restaurant and Lounge, Taco Taco is actually owned by Cannella’s and their chef Alberto Higuera Calderon, who is originally from La Paz.

Taco Taco is pretty small, but it is one of those places where you instantly know the food will be good. There is counter seating along with a few tables inside and out, and you order at the counter. The menu is pretty basic: tacos, burritos, quesadillas, salads, a few sides, and some meals for the kids. They also serve alcohol. All of their beers are $5 or under, and they also have delicious margaritas and other various drinks.

This is a great place for Taco Tuesday, because all their tacos are just $2. It is also a visually-pleasing experience. Taco Taco is decorated with art by local artist Ben Weimyier and interior design by Christopher Henderson, so this is a truly Salt Lake City place to eat!

This budget-friendly restaurant is a great way to familiarize yourself with some good Salt Lake City eats. Take the kids for some tacos and a little taste from your new hometown (and from south of the border)!

Folks in Salt Lake City may be putting away their winter jackets a little earlier than normal this year. While winters are typically pretty cold, this season had some mercy on the good residents of Salt Lake City. We had the warmest and driest winter on record this year. Your Salt Lake City relocation specialists can’t complain, but we know this winter is not exactly typical. If you are new in town, do not get used to the mild winter we just had, because snowy winters are a part of Salt Lake’s charm.

When the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City stated that the 2014-2015 winter season was the warmest and driest on record, it just confirmed what we already knew. Temperatures were five to 10 degrees warmer on average from December through February. In February alone, temperatures averaged seven to 13 degrees warmer than average.

While the warmer weather was great for folks wanting to spend some time outside, it has Utah wildlife biologists a bit worried. Hibernating trends will be shortened, which will start mating season too early. They are also worried about the lack of rain and snow, as the dry conditions can lead wildlife to seek water elsewhere.

While there are concerns about our exceptionally warm winter, it sure got your Salt Lake City moving company excited for spring. The city is a wonderful place to watch the flowers bloom, and we are thrilled you will be here to witness it!
