Warren’s Train Shop in Ogden

January 29, 2013 by Leo Dirr 1 Comment

It’s tough to think of any better place in this state to own and operate a model train shop than the Union Station in Ogden. The majestic building once marked the junction of railroading in the Intermountain West. Even though passenger trains no longer chug through town, Ogden’s rich railroad history remains.

George Nicolatus’ work improving business in Utah At age 23, in 1946 a young George S. Nicolatus walked into the Salt Lake City Chamber of Commerce and announced,“I want to make this city better than what it is now.

A New Year, A New Beer

January 23, 2013 by John Stafford Leave a Comment

Homebrewing in Utah Has Never Been Easier Utahns are no strangers to the stereotypes cast onto their home state by people living outside its borders.

A Bolder Approach to Redevelopment Take a peek through the front of Granite Furniture on 21st South and you will see a view from 1910, a glimpse of the original store that built the reputation of Sugar House as the “Furniture Capital of the West.” Granite’s marketing strategy was to provide “Everything in House Furnishings” all in one place, and customer response was so … [Read more...]
