I will not claim that I have perfected the method, or that I am a "master gardener" and I will not say that this is the one and only … [Read more...]

Deseret News Conspires to Expedite Demise of Salt Lake Tribune

May 27, 2014 by Arvid Keeson 3 Comments

salt lake tribune fails

Every day, newspapers run the obituaries of people who have died in the community. But will The Salt Lake Tribune soon be running an obituary about itself? That’s the fear many people have since the newspaper entered into a troubling and, until recently, secret agreement with its competitor, the Deseret News, which is owned by the LDS Church.

The Star Theater in Moab, Utah—Every seat is taken by grey-bearded men with sun-baked skin, dreadlocked hippies in sandals and mountaineers dressed in the latest outdoor wear. It’s a lively crowd.

But there was plenty of disagreement about how to spell the name – Sugarhouse or Sugar House. 160 years later, the dispute … [Read more...]

April 9, 2014 by Andrew Wankier Leave a Comment

Holladay business owners have had a rough ride. They lost their commercial core with the demolition of the Cottonwood Mall.  Then they lost another retail center when the former Video Vern’s and Pardner’s Restaurant buildings were also razed. Interestingly, it was the government that facilitated the destruction of these buildings, not the business owners. With a lack of income … [Read more...]
