Why are the Germans coming to Hwy 12?

August 12, 2013 by Utah Stories Leave a Comment

Germans built the bikes, but we built the roads.  A group of BMW riding tourists from Bavaria are combining the best of both countries.  They started in Las Vegas and are heading in a big loop around Nevada, Arizona and Utah.  Why are they, and an amazingly large number of European motorcyclists here?  “Some people make a pilgrimage to Santo Domingo in Spain to see the … [Read more...]

Neumont University moves to Main Street SLC

August 12, 2013 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

One year ago, Main Street was mostly dead during the daytime. Trax riders would emerge; occasionally City Creek shoppers ventured south. The big eyesores were the vacant Tribune Building, the Utah Arts building, and the former restaurants Vasuvios and Braza Express, sad local casualties. But now Main Street has been infused with a huge amount of daytime sidewalk life due to the … [Read more...]

Eating crickets, not just for reality TV shows

August 12, 2013 by Paige Wiren Leave a Comment

Cricket Flour

“Are they crunchy like Cheetos?” I ask. “Well, here,” Pat says, “try one.” He slides the glass jar filled with baked crickets across the table. It’s a subtle, poker-like move. I’m not on the set of Fear Factor, but sitting with local businessman Pat Crowley. Pat has just met me and is being appropriately cautious laying down his eat-a-cricket bet. I see his wager and twist the … [Read more...]

Avenues Street Fair

August 9, 2013 by Connie Lewis Leave a Comment

  The 70s were a decade of hot pants, disco and earth shoes. Looking back, it seemed like one big party. One party that eventually morphed into the Avenues long-running street fair was a neighborhood get together called a “wine, cheese and tool exchange.” The Avenues area of Salt Lake was undergoing a rejuvenation during the 70s. Prior to that time, speculators were … [Read more...]
