“LOCAL MEDIA HAD NO INTEREST IN MY STORY”—STEVEN CROWDER

September 28, 2017 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

A YouTube conservative program clickbait generator named Steven Crowder, made the claim in a video that, "I showed my footage too all of the national and local news on the campus and none of them had any interest. None!" Steven Crowder said this in a video he posted on YouTube. Had he not screeched in a high-pitched voice a second time "nobody cared" I might have let this pass, … [Read more...]

University of Utah Protest Against Ben Shapiro Nearly Turns Violent

September 28, 2017 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Editor's Note: YouTube apparently flagged the video we produced as "Not appropriate for all advertisers" -- which is odd because we haven't allowed advertising on our video. But the video is up and live on YouTube and can be watched here:   https://youtu.be/U8BE75gDrMQ   University of Utah campus—Conservative podcaster and commentator Ben Shapiro has … [Read more...]

Downtown’s Restaurant Scene—Out with the Old and in with the New

September 28, 2017 by Bryan Gamez Leave a Comment

Salt Lake City’s restaurant scene is quickly changing. Sadly, the old guard, white tablecloth restaurants like Lambs, Atlantic, and The Judge and Cinegrill, have all recently closed. And the modern millennial-type boutique and craft places like Whiskey Street, Bodega, Red Rock and the newly minted White Horse (which was opened by the same John Prince who financed Whiskey … [Read more...]

The Republican on State Street

September 27, 2017 by Nick Kuzmack Leave a Comment

After working in the bar industry for about 12 years, Jason Meik took over a struggling State Street bar, Guadalajara de Noche. Inspired by a bar he frequented in Massachusetts, Meik renamed it The Republican, after his Irish-Catholic heritage, and sought to style it as the neighborhood’s traditionally Irish-themed bar. Since opening, The Republican has attracted a loyal … [Read more...]

October 14 Panel Discussion at Crone’s Hollow on Craft and Magical Approaches

September 26, 2017 by Utah Stories Leave a Comment

A witch is an ugly old hag, with warts on her face, dressed in black with a pointy hat who rides a broomstick and performs evil spells, right? Are there real witches in Utah? Are Witches and Wiccans the same thing? What is Asatru? Druidry? On October 14 at 7:00pm, Crone's Hollow will host a panel discussion of various types of Craft and magical approaches in the large and … [Read more...]

A History of French Fries With a Side of Ketchup

September 26, 2017 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

The French fry is truly an American icon. After all, what is a burger without fries? And what would have become of fast food without French fries? We can thank France for the Statue of Liberty, and we can thank Belgium for the French fry. That's right. French fries weren't invented in France at all, but by Belgians in the late 1600s. Americans wanted to attribute our … [Read more...]

Utah’s Disappearing Past

September 25, 2017 by David E. Jensen Leave a Comment

“Don’t it always seem to go, you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.” ~Joni Mitchell The 1960s and 70s were a great time to be a kid. Utah was less cosmopolitan back then and our fun was homegrown. I remember the ride from Granger (now West Valley City) to Saratoga Springs, an amusement park and resort on the northwest … [Read more...]

Is “Certified Organic” Worth the Price?

September 22, 2017 by Lewi Lewis Leave a Comment

Okay, so I’ve now placed myself on the Bascule and secured my own neck with the Lunette for you—I’m ready for the slice of your guillotine. Before you pull the blade’s release handle, though, grant an already-condemned writer, guilty of apostasy against the Church of Organic, the reassurance that you will at least ask and consider why it is you buy and defend organic food from … [Read more...]

Standing the Test of Time—Sugar House Coffee

September 21, 2017 by Dina Blaes Leave a Comment

Sugar House Coffee and Bob Evans are inextricably linked in the minds and hearts of Sugar House residents. So when Bob died in 2013 at the age of 69, the community was hit hard. Bob had been a fixture in the neighborhood, looking after his customers and other local businesses in the area. As a member of the Vest Pocket Business Coalition, he’d helped artists and musicians find … [Read more...]
