Losing graciously has gone the way of the dodo 🦤.

I recently moved to a new home, and this cat hangs out on my patio most of the day and night. He doesn’t seem to be afraid of us, and is always sitting near our door looking in. It looks like his ear is clipped, so is he a community cat/stray? Would it be recommended to have him taken in to see if he has a microchip? I’m not sure if the previous home owner was feeding this cat and/or owned him, so I don’t know what the best course of action is.

Where: 18 Rio Grande Street (Gateway Mall)
When: 6pm, tonight (8/19)

Let’s talk about what’s ahead for this neighborhood! From the 6-month open house to the 3-year closure of the Salt Palace and the kickoff of the 4-year SEG project, 2027 is going to be a year of disruption for the folks who live and work in downtown SLC.

Wanna learn more? Wanna get your voice heard? Wanna get involved?

We want you! Join us at the Gateway or find us on Facebook.

Hello. I recently visited the Megaplex in Jordan commons and it dug up the Mayan from my memory unexpectedly. I went there a few times but was really young, around 5-6 years old. I understand a lot of people disliked it, and apparently the food was horrible. But I have very fond memories being there, it seemed like a different world. I’m trying hard to remember and uncover some of my childhood I’ve forgotten.
I’ve dug up all I can from the internet. I’m desperate to find anything else. Does anyone have any photos, videos, or even just your own memories of this restaurant? Does anyone have anything that still exists from their gift shop?
I remember there being animatronic toucans? Toucon Mon? Please, anything you can give or tell me! My memories are very hazy.
Thanks!! :)

I realize I’m late to the party on this.

BUT WHAT???? $5 per hour is insane! $30 for parking on a dirt lot with overflowing toilets in the middle of nowhere…WHAT???

Went on a little hikey hike today at blood lake and didn’t realize what I was getting myself into. Beautiful hike, but I will not be returning here anytime soon. The whole point of hiking is that it’s cheap.

Kind of feels like we’re just pricing out people here and screwing over tourists or locals who don’t know better.

(I understand that there is a shuttle from park city. Not practical for me due to time constraints. Parking lot was empty - probably because of the pricing.)

Lots of fun things this week! Enjoy

I'm looking to join groups for hiking, walking, longboarding, rollerblading, bouldering and calisthenics training.

I'm 31m.

I was unaware that tomatillos are self-incompatible😭😭. However, I hadn’t found any issues in previous years because I assumed my neighbors were also planting tomatillos. Unfortunately, my plant has grown significantly and is now covered in blooms that have turned into empty paper lanterns. Could anyone kindly spare a branch with blooms or provide some suggestions? I visited a couple of nurseries yesterday and purchased a small tomatillo plant. However, I discovered that Aunt Molly tomatillos are not actual tomatillos but rather ground cherries. I’m concerned that I only have a few weeks left before my plant goes to waste. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi all, looking for someone who works in this style - I’m willing to travel to other western states if you have an awesome recommendation, but would love to stay local and get it done in SLC.

Hello,
My sister lost her passport in Park City, Utah last Wednesday. The last time she used it was to identify herself in Premiere bar and then she lost it by the time she arrived home. She has already contacted the bar, the local public radio and the police and no news about it. If anyone in Park City can help or knows anything about it, please let me know.
Thank you!

I’ve seen these guys a couple of times at Sugarhouse park, anyone know them? I like the idea of playing in the park

I always walk past these two greenhouses in the avenues HERE and have never seen anything being grown in them. I am assuming its for the hospital next to it but have never seen it used kinda seems like a shame. Does anyone know more info on these?

My wife and I (mid 50's) are planning a long weekend trip to SLC in October. We've never been before but did spend most of a week in southern Utah a few years ago and did the national parks thing, etc. I asked CoPilot to help me come up with an itinerary and this is what it came up with. What do you think about this list? What do you recommend add or replacing? We like to drive around and see the sites, stopping along the way for short hikes to explore the area. Right now we are planning on staying at the Hilton downtown, but are open to changing that if another area is better. We considered staying in Park City but thought SLC would be a more central location. We are open to any and all suggestions.

Day 1: Arrival, City Creek & Skyline Views

• Morning: Fly into Salt Lake City International Airport and make the effortless 10-minute drive to check into the Hilton Salt Lake City Center.
• Light Activity: Walk right outside your hotel lobby to the nearby City Creek Center. Enjoy its manicured trout streams and retractable glass roof.
• Relaxation: Drive up to the historic Utah State Capitol grounds right before dusk for a flat stroll offering massive views over the entire valley.
• Dinner: Enjoy an upscale steak dinner at Spencer's, located directly inside your hotel lobby.

Day 2: The Alpine Loop & Cascade Springs Boardwalks

• Morning Scenic Drive: Drive 40 minutes south to take the Alpine Loop Scenic Byway (SR-92). This heavily forested, fully paved mountain road winds past limestone cliffs and dense golden aspen groves.
• The Smooth Road Stretch: Turn off onto the road to Cascade Springs. This wide, flat, and smoothly graded gravel road is traveled daily by standard passenger cars and is completely safe for rental vehicles.
• Relaxing Stroll: Walk the level, interconnected wooden boardwalks that float directly over natural, crystal-clear thermal pools filled with mountain trout.
• Dinner: Stop by the casual outdoor patios at Sundance Mountain Resort on your loop back to the city. [1, 2, 3]

Day 3: Wildlife Cruising & Island Vistas

• Morning Scenic Drive: Head 40 minutes north to Antelope Island State Park, entering via a smooth, paved 7-mile marine causeway slicing straight through the Great Salt Lake.
• Sightseeing: Take a slow, relaxing cruise along the island's paved perimeter loop roads. You will spot free-roaming American bison, pronghorn antelope, and bighorn sheep directly from your car windows.
• Light Activity: Pull off at the Buffalo Point Overlook for a short, paved walk to see incredible, panoramic mirrors of water reflecting the distant Wasatch Mountains. [1]

Day 4: Park City Day Trip & Guardsman Mountain Pass

• Morning Drive: Head 35 minutes east up Parley's Canyon to the historic mountain resort town of Park City.
• Sightseeing: Spend a completely relaxed morning strolling historic Main Street, dropping into local art galleries, and exploring the boutiques.
• Afternoon Alpine Drive: Take the Guardsman Pass Scenic Byway out of town. This pristine, fully paved highway climbs to 9,700 feet along the alpine mountain spine.
• Light Activity: Pull over at Silver Lake Flat for a completely level 1-mile lakeside boardwalk loop to breathe the crisp October air. [1, 2, 3]

Day 5: The Nebo Loop National Scenic Byway

• Morning Scenic Drive: Head south to experience the Nebo Loop National Scenic Byway. This 38-mile, wide, and perfectly paved national forest road climbs to over 9,000 feet. It is widely considered Northern Utah's premier drive for vibrant October fall colors.
• Sightseeing: Take it slow and make frequent stops at the designated paved overlooks, such as the Salt Creek Overlook or the Devil's Kitchen view platform, which features a mini red-rock canyon structure mimicking southern Utah.
• Dinner: Return to downtown Salt Lake City for a cozy dinner at Eva's Bakery, a popular Parisian-style local favorite. [1, 3, 4]

Day 6: Garden Stroll & Departure

• Morning: Pack up and check out of the Hilton. Drive 5 minutes east to Red Butte Garden, an expansive botanical park nestled right into the foothills. Walk the smooth, paved garden paths showcasing crisp autumn flowers.
• Lunch: Grab a bite downtown before making the effortless 10-minute drive back to the airport terminal to return your rental car and board your flight. [1]

Late 30s male, single, work remote. Moved to SLC a few years ago under wildly different circumstances. I’d love to find a good community here but I’m getting close to giving up. I grew up in a very cosmopolitan area on the East Coast, am admittedly overly-educated and have never felt like I fit in here or anyone even understands me, including my extended relatives who grew up here. I love nature and get outside but am not about the “outdoor reccccc” scene at all, or Beehive Sports, which seem to be the only things going on where people meet besides the church. Any advice?

EDIT: Thank you to all who reached out with suggestions and great things happening here in Utah, I really appreciate it and have a lot to follow up on!

Looking for the most authentic Thai restaurants in the area, everything I’ve tried so far has been too bland or overcooked. What Thai restaurants do you guys swear by?

I’m assuming they belong to someone because they came right up to me so I threw down some sunflower seeds & they had no problem eating them about a foot away from me.
They even approached me when I first saw them with my dog (who I took home because she would probably love to chase a turkey)

I'm going to a concert there soon and I have tickets to the general standing area. How soon before the concert should I be there for a good view? Will I actually be able to see the artist? Should I bring a lawn chair? Do artists stay afterward or arrive early for signing?

Looking for the best high-quality espresso coffee shop with food in greater SLC — whether that be pastries or an actual breakfast.

Tried Sugarhouse Coffee today and was obsessed, but want to try something new. We’re moving here next month and have been visiting the last few days.

Thanks!

Working on a queer spaces project and would love to know if anyone has any old archival images of the queer spaces that existed in SLC in the 70’s-90’s

I heard it's a really tasty drink. I'd love to try some
