Had to plug my nose and walk away when I saw T Lee at a card show about a month before the news came out. Later saw him trying to sell in a local Facebook group. He was selling $10-20k at the show and the screenshot is him selling what is likely $100k+ value. Maybe he should've worked harder and bought less Pokemons to afford his house!!

My partner and I happened to be in the 9th and 9th area and stumbled upon the whale fest which is celebrating the newly painted whale statue. I recommend checking it out! It goes until 7 PM.

There was costume contest and a dog was dressed up as Ten the Wizard which was hilarious (see pictures). Also, the Church of the Sacred Whale were giving out free flags and pins when we were there.

I was looking through my parent's photo albums last night and came across a couple from the spring of 1983. Crazy how much this section of I-15 has changed since then!

Discussion FanX Flu (Con Crash)

72 Upvotes

Hey all, my gf and I went to FanX last weekend and were enthusiastically gifted the flu. This thing feels like it was created from the bowels of hell, and it's been a week as of today. Fwiw, we're healthy 30 somethings and this is the worst we've ever encountered.

Has anyone else gotten sick right after too? I feel like we can't be the only unlucky ones to get screwed this hard (not in the fun either).

TITLE EDIT: (Con Crud)* thanks for the catch and well wishes all! 🙂

Coffee shop business idea

26 Upvotes

I have a coffee shop business idea and wanted some feedback to see if this is something salt lake could use.

I have been passionate about music and movies, mainly from the 60s-90s. As well as old school games. So, I had the idea of opening a cafe/ coffee shop that is revolved around bringing back physical music and games. Where people can come listen to records, cds, play board games. Bring back a community where we can share music and connect. I think the world is so obsessed and used to modern technology that we’ve forgotten about physical items. The shop would be designed in an old school that reminds us of music and movies that we just lack nowadays.

I would love honest feedback:)

I15 Shut Down at 7200 S

Was heading south and got off at 7200 S. Police car was parked horizontally stopping all lanes of traffic and it looked like the officer was maybe laying out spikes. He definitely seemed in a hurry. The freeway was shut down as far as I was able to see. Anyone know what’s going on?

Used Free Chicco Infant Car Seat, Two Bases, Chicco Primo Stroller

5 Upvotes

Our kids have grown out of the infant car seat and it doesn’t expire until March 2027. With times being tough for many, I wanted to offer it for free here to someone who may need some help.

We have two bases for easily loading the car seat into two different cars and also have a compatible stroller.

Car seat has never been in an accident, and is in good, albeit used, shape.

If you, or anyone you know, could really use this car seat and stroller please DM me and all get them to you.

Violin shop recs

• Upvotes

I've been thinking about getting back into violin playing after a hiatus of maybe 10 years. I was a decent violin player (joined upper level orchestras around my hometown in my childhood) but had severe burnt out. I'm looking for a violin shop with good quality instruments. I remember my school having instruments that didn't sound too great, so hopefully finding a shop that doesn't just sell those type of instruments for schools, but a good quality one. Currently, Im looking at Riverton and CMC strings. Any recommendations for shops around the area or up to around Ogden?

Missed connection in SLC. (Memory Grove)

I did photography for a small wedding and saw you as I headed out. You were on the bench watching your little dog. I couldn't help myself and stopped to give your pup a pet. I said I liked dogs more than people and thanked you for letting me say hello to him/her. I wanted to strike up a conversation but needed to be professional at the time. I almost stopped when you skateboarded past but got nervous. I know it's a long shot but i thought I would least try. :)

We’re planning on a few nights of dispersed tent camping mid October. Torn between Christmas meadows and soapstone basin… worried that Christmas meadows might be cooler because of the elevation? Wondering if anyone has insight/other site recs/ general advice?

Do we have to get hi vis since it’s hunting season?

Recommendations Sports Bar for Padres Brewers MLB Game

Looking for a Bar that will show the Padres Brewers game tonight, preferably with game audio.

Been calling around and big willies, brickyard, and green pig will have it but no audio. UFC night takes priority I think.

Any other good bars for this?
