Art’s Brewing

January 30, 2015 by Mike Jones Leave a Comment

There is a certain instinctive skill that develops when you make something your passion and life’s work. Utah homebrewers are lucky that a particularly skilled journeyman in the craft of homebrewing hangs his hat in Salt Lake. Art’s Brewing Supply is the oldest, and considered by many to be the best, brewing supply store in Salt Lake. Opening his doors in 1987 to the … [Read more...]

Wasatch Brew Pub Expands to Sugar House

January 29, 2015 by Lynne Olson Leave a Comment

Wasatch Brew Pub opened its first restaurant in Salt Lake City last September, and already it’s a hit with a brand that is perfect for the growing heart of Sugar House. With Westminster College within walking distance and 600 apartment units opening in the hub this year, the local demographic is changing. Wasatch Pub gravitated to Sugar House because they could see what was … [Read more...]

Keys On Main – George Kelly

January 28, 2015 by Connie Lewis 1 Comment

A high school senior excursion changed the course of George Hasenohrl’s life. During the trip,  he and some friends snuck into a dueling piano bar. He watched as the players pounded out Billy Joel and Elton John songs. He knew right then that he needed to learn how to do that. Hasenohrl, who uses the stage name George Kelly, says, “I always wanted to be a performer. In high … [Read more...]

Silver Star Hardware

January 28, 2015 by Alison Lafazan Leave a Comment

When you first step into Silver Star Hardware you instantly see that it is not your typical hardware store. The smell of coffee is in the air, Michael Buble’s Christmas CD is playing and there is a peace sign hanging from the ceiling. On your left local artists’ work is displayed and on the right sits rows of drawer pulls, door knockers, doors and other hardware. There is … [Read more...]

Grass Beef Revolution in Utah Pt. II

January 27, 2015 by Richard Markosian 2 Comments

Grass Farming in Salt Lake County Utah Natural Meat offers a clear demonstration of how sustainable, local farming could work in the future. But returning to business operations my immediate question is: How does Utah Natural Meat attract a large enough customer base without signage and without marketing? Bowler's farm consists of several pastures for his various animals. … [Read more...]

Grass Fed Beef Revolution in Utah

January 26, 2015 by Richard Markosian 1 Comment

Salt Lake County's last beef rancher feeling growing suburban pressure. Driving out to Utah Natural Meat, there are acres of homes and new suburban development. Tall signs for WinCo and Jordan Landing draw the eyes of motorists. Just twenty years ago this area was all farms. Today there is no sign for the farm store of the third-generation last remaining beef rancher in Salt … [Read more...]

The Benefits of Local Gyms in Utah

January 23, 2015 by Andrew Wankier Leave a Comment

“Lose weight.” “Get in shape.” “Fit in fitness.” Any way you phrase it, wanting to get healthier and lose a few pounds ranked as the top News Years resolution for 2014, according to the University of Scranton Journal of Clinical Psychology. Sadly, only eight percent of Americans who make such resolutions follow through with them. Although Utah often ranks as one of the … [Read more...]

The Last of Utah's Grand Hotels Two behemoths define Ogden’s historic 25th Street. Union Station commands the west end of downtown, while the Ben Lomond Historic Suites and Hotel anchors the eastern end of the street. The grand dame of Utah hotels, the Ben Lomond defines Ogden’s skyline and offers panoramic views from its upper floors. Michael Fenton is fascinated by his … [Read more...]

Store Credit Card Trap

January 21, 2015 by Wina Sturgeon Leave a Comment

The offers sounded fantastic. I could buy an expensive laptop and have a whole year to pay for it at Best Buy---if I put the purchase on their store credit card $500 loan same day. Best of all, there would be no interest charges if I paid it off within 12 months. Kohl's offered me a closet's worth of clothing with a 35 percent discount if I charged it on their store … [Read more...]

Glass Images & Creations

January 19, 2015 by Andrew Wankier 3 Comments

How do you know when a piece of art is complete? The answer may come easier when a painting hangs on a wall, or when a sculpture sits on a table. But when a piece of glass constantly changes throughout the day according to the light, the process may be more involved. “Stained glass is the only art form that plays with the sun,” says glass artist Jerry Lynn. “With stained glass … [Read more...]
