The local litter cleanup movement (Love Where You Live) started gaining momentum with a simple social media post. The original Facebook post by Raine Christensen said: “I think we’re giving off the wrong impression to the millions of people who come visit our beautiful State and City… it sure looks like we don’t care about our community and that we let it get trashed like crazy. How can we enjoy our beautiful area when many times we’re surrounded by so much trash? How do we solve this problem? I’m open to any and every idea. Yes, there are many of us trying, but we feel outnumbered!” This post resonated with thousands as it went viral locally. They began rallying under one voice and their message was clear — the amount of litter in our community was NOT ok! The best part was the additional response from Washington County, St George City, local businesses, and other community members as they started getting organized and figuring out what more could be done. It wasn’t long before a name was chosen for this movement: “Love Where you Live, Keep UT Litter Free”. Raine, who found himself as the nominated president of this movement, has been picking up litter with his kids since they were just toddlers. They made a game out of it and would do special trips to just pick up litter. As his kids grew older, that excitement and energy remained! This is where Raine got excited — he knew that everyone WANTS to make a difference. Many others have joined forces with Raine and are continually working to keep our area beautiful!! Love Where You Live Utah is working to take this movement to the next level through education, sponsorships, and cleanup projects! The bottom line is this: Whenever people come together, GOOD things happen. Whenever a community comes together POWERFUL things happen… and they happen fast. As a visitor, you can help us with this effort by helping us keep our home clear of litter! Love Where you Visit and help us keep the place we love beautiful!!

CORAL CLIFFS CINEMA 8

Coral Cliffs Cinema 8 has been a pillar of the Hurricane community since we opened our doors in 2004. Even with our reputation as southern Utah’s #1 choice in movie entertainment, we always sought bigger things for our charming theater. Named after the beautiful scenery around us, we’ve had immense support from our bustling community and have accomplished amazing things. When we unveiled our VIP Experience in 2015, we also raised expectations on what a night at the movies could be. Our luxurious reclining chairs and expanded menu are just a couple of reasons the VIP Experience has changed those standards.

Skip the crowd and enter the VIP lobby to select your seats, order concessions, and dig into a vast selection of fried food options and locally-baked desserts. Head to your theater with just your belongings, as it’s our pleasure to serve fresh food and ice-cold drinks directly to your tray table. Each VIP showing includes an intermission halfway through, with a mint truffle served to everyone, and a chance to refresh your concessions or recharge for the rest of the movie presentation. The VIP Experience is perfect for an easily-planned date night, as a blockbuster gift for a special occasion, or as a treat for yourself to see that movie you’re especially excited about. It’s going to be memorable no matter the circumstance, and our reclining seats will make it the most comfortable time you’ve ever had at the movies. Movie Night is never going to feel the same.

The VIP Experience is just one of the many different things about us. Our staff is full of diverse characters coming together as a family, and we embrace the quirks in ourselves and our guests that make each experience unique and lively. Whether or not you choose the VIP Experience, every guest in our building is a very important person to us. We love going to the movies and share that passion by creating a welcome environment that feels like home for everybody. We take pride in giving a clean, comfortable respite from the outside world every time you visit us, and we truly can’t wait to have you be our guest.
