Inland Port Ruling: Utah Supreme Court Says Utah State Legislature Can Usurp Salt Lake City’s Authority

June 30, 2022 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

The Utah State Legislature determined four years ago that 16,000 acres of land in mostly Salt Lake County would be the best place for a massive inland port. The inland port initiative began over a decade ago when the Wasatch Front was seeking new economic opportunities to build our economic tax base and add high-paying jobs. But the picture since then has completely … [Read more...]

Utah Homelessness Getting Out of Control: What are the solutions?

June 28, 2022 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

A conversation with Pioneer Park Coalition board Member Scott Howell and Catholic Diocese Director Jean Hill. It’s an untenable situation: more people camping on the streets; more people unwilling to enter shelters; more clearly insane people walking around the streets in downtown; all social services in Salt Lake City are maxed out. There are not enough social workers, beds, … [Read more...]

A Jackalope Sighting in Utah? Horned Rabbits are the Mascots of the American West, but are they Real? 

June 25, 2022 by Danny B. Stewart Leave a Comment

The legend of the Jackalope, or variations of it, can be found all over the United States, but it is familiarly found hopping about in the lore and legends of the west. Here we know it as a critter of cryptozoological whimsical-lore that is often described as an average sized hare or jackrabbit, but with antlers. It is found on postcards, in taxidermy form in random cafes, and … [Read more...]

A TASTE OF BRAZIL: The Churrasco Experience at Tucanos Brazilian Grill

June 24, 2022 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

During graduate school as I was working on a PhD dissertation in anthropology, I took time off to travel to Brazil to study the Brazilian martial art called capoeira. It was in Rio de Janeiro during my time at Mestre Camisa’s capoeira school that I got my first churrasco experience. It’s a popular dining style in the southern states of Brazil, usually called churrasco … [Read more...]

How to Make an Authentic Cubano Sandwich

June 24, 2022 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

An authentic Cubano sandwich is a simple affair. I've seen far too many bastardized versions in restaurants which include ingredients like mayo, lettuce and tomato - even sauerkraut. Of course, you can put anything you want in/on your Cubano, but a true Cuban sandwich, I’m told, consists of nothing more than the following: bread, mustard, roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles … [Read more...]

Moab’s Canyon & Waffle House: The Last Coffee-Counter in Moab, Utah

June 23, 2022 by Rachel Fixsen Leave a Comment

  Coffee at the Counter Canyon Steak and Waffle House in Moab is decorated with nostalgic, black-and-white photos of simpler times, and each booth is named after a Beatles song. In 2020, when owner Shawn Welch visited the then-vacant building to consider re-opening it as a restaurant, she thought, “It just needs love,” which conjured the Beatles hit, “All You Need is … [Read more...]

Vanishing Farmland: Paradise Lost as Vital Farmland Gives Way to Development in Ogden Valley, Utah

June 22, 2022 by Cathy McKitrick Leave a Comment

Utah’s best farmland is disappearing. Just ask Utah Farm Bureau Federation President Ron Gibson.  “We are losing the most productive farmland in the state to development,” Gibson said recently, referring to the fertile land that first attracted pioneers to settle in Salt Lake City and along the Wasatch Front. “We have one of the best economies in the country … so people … [Read more...]
