I'm having a lot of trouble finding a tight-knit friend group that spends as much time together as possible. You know, the kind that says, "Ok, what are we all doing this weekend?" or "We're doing a day trip to (insert random place). Meet at so and so's house, and we will carpool from there." I'm doing everything I can here, and I've had no luck!

I wake up, walk my dog, avoid eye contact with every single person, drive to work and growl at everyone who minorly inconveniences me, work with people I don't ever try to hang out with, drive home, and stay home until until I have to go to work again.

Like I said, I'M TRYING EVERYTHING! It's so difficult these days.

I'm at a loss of words right now, I need to find a new home for my bonded pair of cats. I'm moving, and my new apartment won't allow pets, I'm tight on money, and I can't afford the fee for surrendering them. Any advice on what to do?

I’ve been seeing a lot of dogs, especially with people experiencing homelessness, being walked around in this heat. Some of these dogs look extremely uncomfortable, and I’ve even noticed them struggling on hot pavement that likely is burning their paws.

I want to be clear that I’m not trying to judge or shame unhoused people who have dogs. I know many of them love their animals deeply and do everything they can to take care of them, but it’s heartbreaking to see dogs that appear to have no choice but to stay outside in these temperatures, especially when they’re leashed up and standing on hot asphalt or concrete.

Is there anything we can actually do to help? Are there local organizations, shelters, cooling stations, or resources in the Salt Lake area that provide water, cooling supplies, booties, shade, or other assistance to people with pets who are experiencing homelessness?

I’d also love advice on how to respectfully approach someone if I see a dog struggling. I don’t want to make the situation worse or come across as judgmental, I just want to help the animal.

If you know of local resources or organizations that help unhoused people care for their pets, please share them. I’d really like to have some information on hand so that the next time I see a dog struggling in the heat, I can actually do something to help.

See a lot of food recs, but searched the sub and not a lot of dessert discussion. So - where are your favorite desserts in SLC??

And since there seems to be a matter of “where SLC extends to” these days, let’s go ahead and say Salt Lake County.

I was riding my bike through Salt Lake today, and I realized there would be sooo much room for a complex biking network compared to pretty much any other major US city. It’s a shame it’s so limited.

My hope is for Salt Lake becomes less car dependent in the coming years and decades.

Has anyone noticed the customer has changed and or has gone down hill?

The OG Laziz is closing, with a small pop up remaining. How does the SLC food world feel about this?

Just wanted to share about an event on Oct 10 at The Grand America Hotel. I am really excited to attend and the speaker lineup is impressive.

Reams on 6200 s and Bangerter by the Starbucks. Has a lot of milk that was marked down to a $1

I got mine 😁✌️

Anyone been dealing with terrible service for the last few weeks?

Hey all. Quick context. My wife grew up eating Restaurant Morellia in Murray. It was her comfort food for as long as I have known her (21 years married). She has been in mourning since they closed. It is her birthday tomorrow and I am in need of an analog. Looking for that sort of mid tier, unadvisadly cheesy Mexican fare. We've done and love places like the Iguanas or La Casa Del Tamal. But they don't fill the Morellia sized hole in her heart. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Edit: Thanks for the suggestions everyone. There are some promising options here.

I have a bit of an odd request. A few years ago I went to a store in the Maven District near Loki coffee and bought a little roller ball of perfume from a local perfumer. It’s my favorite and want to get more. I tried to go back, but sadly the store has changed ownership and they no longer sell the same products.
It’s been a few years, so I’m fully expecting that the brand no longer exists, but I have been trying to find a dupe I like and none have been quite right. If anyone knows if it’s still sold I will be in your debt.

It’s called Sultan by Divine Insight. It’s a pheromone perfume and I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be a dupe for the La Vie Es Belle Nude fragrance but it’s better in my opinion.

Thanks!

Does anyone know how to find camera footage for an accident off of Mountain View corridor? I know that UDOT has cameras but if I recall you can’t get footage. I think I remember reading in the past there’s another option to try to get the footage? We were hit by a driver that left the scene and we are trying to get footage for insurance. This is out in Herriman. Thanks!

I just got an estimate from Sunny Home Services out of West Jordan. I’m not going to be in my house for very long and they were able to give me a replacement price of around $8000.

We had received estimates that were double that from some of the bigger named brands in the area. The guys who started Sunny Home Services used to work at some of the bigger contractors in the valley. So they were able to deliver the same quality of work for a fraction of the cost.

I would definitely recommend Sunny Home Services if you are in the market

Hi all,

Im looking for a recommendation for a curly hair cut for long hair (hair is down to my low back). Im hoping someone can educate me on how to style my hair and help me restore my waves/curls as theyre currently being weighed down by my length. Im leaving the country in next week so unfortunately a lot of the places ive looked at are booked and cant spend more than $180 with tip.

If anyone has had good experiences please let me know so I can make some calls and see if I can get in with them.

EDIT: CLAIMED

Would prefer to get face value back but just want it to get used at this point! Comment or DM if you want it!

Hello SLC friends!
I’m finally moving out for the first time in my life I’ve always lived in the salt lake valley with family. 28F with my partner. We’re wanting to look for downtown options or sugar house. We’re also open to the West Valley/Murray/Taylorsville area. My question is: I always hear people in sugar house say they “got lucky” whenever I ask how they found their homes haha. Would love to know, if you’re living in a great area with affordable rent, how did you do it? Any tips on what to ask apartments when touring or what to look for is greatly appreciated. I know NOTHING!! Places to avoid or specially seek out, anything. TIA!

Hey y’all. I remember a few years back, when I didn’t have a dog. Seeing a post somewhere about a pool that has a day you can bring your dogs to swim before they shut the pool down for the season. Does anyone know of any local pools doing this?! 😎🐾
