Mr Jesse Walker | NewCityMovement
We could introduce Jesse Walker as “cherished, local D.J.”, but that would hardly do this sensational human justice. Instead, we’ll start with “Idaho-born, widely-traveled, richly-cultured, intellectually-curious music magician and shaker of bodies”. Jesse’s an activist of positive change — the archetypal soul that we want filling our city. For years, he’s been trying to stitch …

Dan Christofferson | Big Cartel
Dan Christofferson is a locally-raised artist and proud Salt Lake missionary; that is to say, he’s got an unwavering dedication to ‘selling’ SLC as the creative and cultural hub that we are. It’s a task he says is getting easier, due, likely, to his masterful storytelling [everyone loves an avid hand talker]. We wanted to …

She’s an unusual artist, most certainly, making me eager to get the inside scoop behind her works. Her process in print: Trent travels the world, finds innovative ways to …

Salt Lake City Cemetery
TheCOLLECTIVE has a decidedly all-encompassing love for our city. The hidden features, the beautifully-obvious, the little-known and the perfectly-grim all garner an equal respect. Truth be told, we love our cemetery. The SL city cemetery sits high in the Avenues. Strange truth, it’s a surprisingly visitor-friendly collection of memorials and grave sites. The layout covers …

Cafe on 1st
Cafe on 1st sits pretty ideally on I street in the Avenues. It’s a practice in both simplicity and thoroughness, for their well-equipped with all the needs of a coffee drinker: morning prerequisites, such as freshly-baked pastries on hand; hangover extinguishers, to be sure, in the form of a hot cup of Ibis-roast coffee; Wi-Fi …

Two Creek Coffee
As of pretty recent times, I lived on 5th in the Avenues. A lover of coffee, I had a few options for my morning brew, all within a stone’s throw. Post-booze mornings tended to lead me to Cafe on 1st — their lounge-like, low-lit sitting area was ideal for headache waning and a general body …
