Date from Sandy is a suburb of Salt Lake City, Utah, though Draper claims the reverse (and correctly claims that Salt Lake claims the reverse, and so on ad infinitum).

In the fall of 2005, key properties were identified and purchased for the development of a "regional park" (read "subdivision started through 'honest graft'"). The result was the purchase of 1, 021 acres of property to be created in the the Corner Canyon Regional Park which will consist of parks, trails and thousands of more houses which are too big for their owners.
