POLL: The @PatMcAfeeShow “drama” with the University of Utah is just a show to build drama before ESPN brings @CollegeGameDay back to Utah for a third time this season for the Holy War.

Because it’s either true or McAfee is softer than an aardvark in a sauna.

Here is a bit of SLC/Cheesecake Factory trivia for you: Fox Restaurant Concepts, which owns the new Granary District restaurant Culinary Dropout, was purchased in 2019 by The Cheesecake Factory. #themoreyouknow

Salt Lake City has a security guard at the Liberty Park playground that’s been closed for over a year making sure that no kid uses it until the mayor can have a photo-op this evening.

There are about six people who appear to be city staffers loafing at the entrance to the playground, helping the security guard make sure that no kids go in until the photo-op.

Now that the photo-op is done, I will go check it out with the kids and report back.

I just saw the greatest 1-2 combo of stickers on a street pole in SLC. A nonprofit advocacy group I started seven years ago and a portion of the script from the movie Slapshot. I currently have a flat tire, but it’s going to be a great day

Brace for bad news: It looks like Forty Three Bakery is set to close its Poplar Grove location early next year. Its building at 733 Genessee just hit the market with Feb. 1, 2027 availability.

For those who were cheerleaders of the $1.2 BILLION subsidy for a billionaire, this should be a major disappointment.

As best I can tell (and if these renderings are accurate), the plan to lower 300 West below a pedestrian plaza has been replaced by ramps down to underground parking, creating a median area similar to South Temple between State Street and Main Street.

The showdown over single-family zoning in Salt Lake City is set. SLC is considering allowing new homes on lots as small as 2,000sf (0.045 acres). Multiple units allowed in SF zones. The City Council is set for a potential vote on Dec. 1. BACKGROUND: buildingsaltlake.com/plannin…

Salt Lake City Moves Closer to Rewriting Its Single-Family Zoning Code

The proposal would allow small homes, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and townhomes on smaller lots across Salt Lake City's single-family zones.

Many people have been saying this for a long time now.

Just read an SLC real estate listing that called Liberty Wells "Lower Sugar House" and another one that said the house in Emerson was a "Laird Park Bungalow" in the "heart of Gilmer Park." Follow me to not catch these Ls

I looked up Lower Sugar House and found newspaper clippings from the same agent from 40 years ago using the same name. I don’t think they mean it as a derogative.

Now is the time to get a deep discount buying a house in Utah.

Things were so off the rails in 1948 that SLC considered selling Pioneer Park to improve its golf courses. Good thing that didn't happen. #utpol

SLC is almost done with the rebuild of Rotary Playground in Liberty Park after multiple delays and more than a year. And in true SLC fashion, it’s choosing to reopen the playground on a Monday rather than a Saturday. @slcmayor: do the photo op on Oct. 24 plz. @SLCPublicLands

Last year, I missed a shot at a nice bull elk. My friend unfortunately got this picture for memories. Tomorrow I will be back in the Uintas looking for him. Wish me luck and wish the elk bad luck.
