It's the 'stache
Murray's Dan Snarr landed in the recent edition of Esquire magazine, one of several U.S. mayors featured in the hip men's publication.
"It was because of the mustache -- I was the strangest of all the mayors," Snarr said in self-deprecating style. Perhaps the Old West handlebar mustache had something to do with it.
At the time, Snarr was attending a national mayors convention near Hollywood. While other "hizzoners" wore suits and ties, Snarr stayed comfortable in a $15 Hawaiian shirt from Murray's Costco.
"[Esquire] asked if I felt out of place. I said no; I felt like I was just being myself," Snarr said.
The glossy magazine printed Snarr's political hero -- the leader of the LDS Church -- and the best thing to do in Murray -- hang out at Costco.
"I joked about how I have a table over there and people meet me there to chat."
As far as political heroes, Snarr felt the current pool has dried up. So he praised the LDS Church for the aid it spreads worldwide and talked up Gordon B. Hinckley, a former neighbor, as a leader he could respect.
Appearing with the rich and famous in Esquire hasn't gone to Snarr's head. After all, this is the guy who personally sprays weeds along State Street to spruce up the city.
"I'll tell you how cheap I am," Snarr grinned. "I didn't go buy a copy -- they mailed me one a couple of weeks after it came out."
