Ann Cannon: My sure-fire tip to beat the traffic in downtown Salt Lake City to see the Christmas lights

Related Topics: Christmas lights

Have you tried to drive into downtown Salt Lake recently? Well, take my word for it. THE TRAFFIC IS TERRIBLE. Traffic will do that — turn all terrible whenever you throw major Christmas light displays into the downtown mix. Which is why I am offering you the following tip: Drive around with a highly noticeable dent somewhere on your car.

It doesn’t matter where the dent is — front bumper, rear bumper, left door, right door. Just make sure your car looks as if it’s wandered into a fancy party with a black eye, greasy jeans and a T-shirt with a pack of cigarettes rolled up in the sleeve.
