Utah Paranormal Investigating

October 15, 2014 by Connie Lewis Leave a Comment

“The theory is that ghosts are fields of energy, left when a person dies. Their soul perhaps. It is difficult for them to communicate but not impossible,” says Josh Bryant, co-founder of the Utah Paranormal Research and Study group. Bryant, along with his partner, Brian Barney, first encountered the paranormal as kids. “It seems like every house in our West Valley … [Read more...]

Book Review: The Avenues of Salt Lake City

October 14, 2014 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

The Avenues is one of Utah’s oldest neighborhoods. Many homes in the area have sandstone foundations and adobe walls; but despite these inferior building materials, most Avenues residents appreciate their abodes for the homes’ history and uniqueness. This inspired one Avenues resident to update an old book which he discovered in the 1980s. Cevan LeSieur revised a 1980 … [Read more...]

The Silicon Slope of Utah Valley

October 13, 2014 by Andrew Wankier Leave a Comment

Anyone considering a career in the tech industry needs look no further than Utah Valley. The area has seen a boom in technology companies, and many bigwigs from the West Coast are starting to take notice. In such a seemingly low-key state, just how has this peaceful mountain valley managed to warrant the nickname “Silicon Slopes?” “It definitely takes more than just an … [Read more...]

Civil Asset Forfeiture

October 10, 2014 by Wina Sturgeon 1 Comment

Did you know that your private property can be seized and kept by police, even though you have not been charged with a crime? You may be totally innocent of any wrongdoing, but police and state prosecutors can still grab your home, vehicles, bank account and any cash you may have available-everything you own. Worse, you may never be able to get that property returned срочный … [Read more...]

Salt Lake City Cosplay

October 10, 2014 by Connie Lewis Leave a Comment

Salt Lake Comic Con is an opportunity to escape from reality and play out fantasies. A walk through the crowded halls and auditorium reveals everything from Princess Batmans to scores of Deadpools and Harleys.  While some costumes look thrown together or appear as if they were purchased from Victoria’s Secret, others are elaborate and obviously crafted with love and care. … [Read more...]

Trackline Ogden

October 9, 2014 by Kim Bowsher Leave a Comment

Roughly 60 acres west of the 24th Street Viaduct in Ogden are about to undergo a huge conversion to become the new “Ogden Business Exchange.” This isn’t just any industrial parkway. It’s a crossroads between the techie “corporate culture,” the recreation culture of Ogden, and historic preservation thrown in for more than good measure. Character and attitude converge in this … [Read more...]

Downtown Provo: Rejuvenated

October 9, 2014 by Andrew Wankier Leave a Comment

People born within the last fifty years may have little memory of when a city’s downtown boasted a unique mix of culture and identity. Thanks to shopping malls and big box retailers, many of the downtowns across Utah serve as ghostly reminders of once-thriving districts of commerce. Empty sidewalks, “For Rent” signs and crumbling facades are instead commonly seen. But one … [Read more...]

Taking Over: Utah Millenials in the Workplace

October 7, 2014 by Andrew Wankier Leave a Comment

The Millennial generation operates on a different wavelength. Though an official birth year is debateable, anyone born in the 1980s and ‘90s is a “Millennial.” The Internet, smartphones and social media have changed the way Millennials communicate as well as the way businesses operate. Millennials embrace a new approach to starting and running a business. Aaron Zundell of … [Read more...]

Guerrilla Art In Ogden

October 7, 2014 by Kim Bowsher Leave a Comment

Guerrilla art, street-art, take-over art, whatever you want to call it, it’s been in Ogden for about three years now. Amir Jackson, founder of local non-profit Nurture the Creative Mind, has initiated many guerrilla style projects on his own and with his group. According to him, “There is a budding guerrilla arts concept, but the movement is not there… yet.” Others disagree. … [Read more...]
