Came through and saw a ton of cops. What's the point? Anybody know?

Does anyone know of any hiking trails/parks that are messy? I need a service project for my ward, and I didn't know if there are any that need a good clean-up. We are willing to drive 25 miles max.

I am a Private Investigator and work for a process service company in Utah County. A lot of people posting on this platform are asking if Process Service is a scam. Here is the answer to that question:

No, Process Service is not a scam. It's a legitimate legal system that's been around for hundreds of years. All of the legitimate process service companies in this area have been doing it for 40+ years. This includes legit companies like RPS, Statewide, TD's, Anderson, PrivateOPS, and others. However, just like any field, some scams can exist. If the process server asks you for money, that's a scam (for example). But if a Process Server is simply giving you papers, it's not a scam.

Process Service is where someone is suing you. It's a notification to you that you need to show up in court. Process Servers drive around and hand people legal papers. These papers have all of the information about the court case, etc.

The Process Server Act, [Utah Code Title 78B, Chapter 8, Part 3] Discusses the responsibilities of a process server in Utah.

https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Title78B/Chapter8/78B-8-S302.html?v=C78B-8-S302_2026050620260901#:~:text=An%20individual%20serving%20process%20shall%3AYou are NOT required to pay money to a process server. The debt collectors pay them because they are the plaintiff.

Also, please accept service! [just take the papers they give you]. Besides denial of service being against the law, many of us process servers are paid commission-only. If we're not able to reach you the first time, we usually have to come back 4-6 seperate days. With how crazy gas prices are, it can really make it difficult for us if you don't take the papers. If someone leaves you a note on your door, promptly send them a text [they are often driving and can't answer a phone call]. Schedule a time they can drop off. Don't worry about texting them at night/on a weekend/etc. We work really weird hours and want to get paid!

This includes people who moved out. If you recently moved in, and someone is trying to serve a previous resident, just text the server!! They can get paid if it's a bad address. But, if you don't text them, they will have to keep coming back several times (using their own gas expense, which is crazy high!)

Again, texts are always better than calls since we're always driving!

Thank you for your help! The more people accept service, the more people like me can provide for our families.

Also, process service is not associated with ICE or immigration. Don't worry about that, we are not affiliated with the government, we are mostly working for private debt collection firms.

#Provo #Orem #Utah County

I live in orem but willing to travel pretty much anywhere in Utah county. I have about 5 or 6 coats/sweaters i need dry cleaned and Google is not super helpful in picking one. A lot have good reviews but when I look at the low stars the bad ones sound terrifying. 3 are wool one with a faux fur collar. 2 are full faux fur. Only one has an actual stain/dirt spot to be taken care of the rest just need a bit of freshening hoping someone here with some experience can help point me in the right direction. Thank you!

Title says it all, where is everyone riding their mountain bike at around here? I’ve ridden some BST around slate canyon, which was fairly bleh (as the BST usually is lol) and the slate canyon DH track, which was short but enjoyable. I know there is a good riding in AF, Provo canyon, pleasant grove, timp, and other areas just south of Corner Canyon. Frankly, I don’t know where to start, and all of my riding buddies up in SLC don’t spend much time down here 😅

For context, I live in SLC but spend a majority of my time with my GF down here in Provo; so most of my frequented areas such as PCMR, CC, the avenues and millcreek canyon riding are a bit further than I want to drive most days when I’m down here! I’m an advanced rider who loves long pedals, tech, and of course blue flow and jump trails!

Let me know what y’all love to ride down here!!

I fell absolutely in love with Tom’s Crossing last winter, and it inspired me to go on a trip to see the mountains that inspired the story. For reference I’m from a pretty darn flat area, no mountains (or really even hills) around. Today is my first non-travel day in the area.

Everywhere I look, I’m stunned. It’s breathtaking here.

I’m not a fit man, but I did go up Dry Canyon trail on the area just west of Timpanogos, and it was surreal going through something that felt like the beginning of the journey: driving through a residential area, to a parking lot, which stops next to the canyon trail. Two big cliffs face each other like they’re the gate of the mountain. I went up until the trail forked, had an apple and some cheese, and came back down, all in all about 2.5h. Of course, I was barely making it while people were jogging and biking up and down lol.

I’d be interested in more real-life places that might have inspired settings in TC, what do y’all think? I’m here for the week and want to soak in as much as I can :)

the intersection right behind smiths in provo by freedom blvd is all blocked off with SO MANY police officers. does anyone know what happened? (100 W 300-400 N)

It was in the disabled spot. All the windows had pictures of weird conspiracies. Kinda creeped me out.

Hello,

I am trying to find a couple of spots to film a late Mothers Day video and I need a couple of abounded I can film for the video. ( I feel bad but my mom understands I was working on something for a national competition). Does anyone know of a couple of spots

Thank you so much
