Stocking Up On Fabulous Foods From Our Favorite Markets

February 20, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  When I moved to Utah in 1992, specialty food stores were few and far between. Liberty Heights Fresh was still a year away from opening and Granato’s was about the only gourmet game in town, selling imported Italian foods, hot and cold sandwiches, kitchenware and such.  Thankfully, much has changed in the nearly 30 years since then, and SLC and its environs are … [Read more...]

Seventy Years of Family and Flowers: The Art Floral

February 2, 2021 by John Michael Pantlik Leave a Comment

  If you’re near the corner of 600 East and 300 South in downtown Salt Lake City around 3pm on any given day, you’ll probably see a tall Greek woman with a mane of curly black hair herding a flock of chickens to their coop. An 11-year old terrier is always by her side. The terrier is named Artie, and her name is Stefanie. But no, she doesn’t own a chicken … [Read more...]

How is it to be a Black-Owned Business in Utah during Pandemic?

December 26, 2020 by David Frame Leave a Comment

When the Utah economy shut down in March, national conglomerates received billions of federal dollars in bailout funds, but small businesses were left out in the rain with no umbrella. At a quaint location on State Street in Orem, Texas-born Joe Hicks serves comfort food with a Southern flare. Black-owned businesses such as Joe’s Cafe cite that their clientele numbers have … [Read more...]

Running a Restaurant in a Pandemic — Spoiler: It’s Not All Bad News

December 16, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Restaurants worldwide are facing huge challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands and thousands have closed permanently and many more are hanging by a thread. Others are doing better but have had to adjust the way they do business significantly in order to survive. Whoever thought Log Haven, for example, would be doing takeout curbside meals?  Sadly, in SLC … [Read more...]

Western Timber Frame

December 15, 2020 by Nicole Anderson Leave a Comment

The family gathers at the table, resting in the shade of their new pergola. The sunset and the evening lights illuminate the pathway to this new gathering place. The ceiling fan suspended from the wood rafter pushes the hot summer air away, as laughter and good food brings the family together, forging lasting memories. Hyrum Thompson, a cabinet maker, and his son Brad, … [Read more...]

You can create glass beauty at Red Flower Studios!

December 13, 2020 by Eric S. Peterson Leave a Comment

Tucked away in Park City, and guarded by two friendly golden retrievers, is a unique and off-the-beaten-path resort destination — Red Flower Studios. Here, owners Daniel Bell and Micah Goddard teach the ancient art of glass blowing. Customers melt color into glass before a 2000 degree oven, blow air into the molten globules to give them shape, and then put finishing touches on … [Read more...]

Ogden Valley Today: Is the booming real estate squashing out the local community?

December 5, 2020 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

We visited the Shooting Star Saloon to find locals who could provide leads for our story. The saloon survived prohibition by maintaining a lookout for prohibition agents, whereby, if agents or the law were seen ascending Ogden Canyon, saloon owners would be alerted to kick everyone out and shut down. Today it’s a local hangout. Inside, thousands of bills (of various … [Read more...]

How Ogden got its name

December 3, 2020 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

A Brief History of the Ogden Valley Prior to the arrival of the Mormon pioneers, the Ogden Valley was recognized by Indians as a special place. Abundant game in the area made the traverse across the mountain pass (now called Trapper’s Loop) a seasonal migration for the nomadic Shoshone Indians, who camped and hunted the abundant beaver, moose, elk, and waterfowl that are … [Read more...]
