Nata Gallery | SLC POP

Nata Gallery | SLC POP just blew our minds, and we feel certain that it’ll exceed your expectations, too. For food and art. It’s a bold — and, quite frankly, damn clever — collaboration effort by modern chefs, Mike Burtis and Katie Weinner. And we love it. The Nata Gallery notion was put on our radar by friend, Dave …

Ed Dreier Mid-Century | Coming Soon

We’ve seen a handful of stunning Eduard Dreier-designed properties over time, but amazing as they may be, this doll’s got something they were likely missing; all things intact. It would seem that the owner knew a thing or two about the varied important facets of architecture, having grown up in another significant Ed Dreier on …

Blue Star Juice

Every week, we get excited…no, giddy…for our weekly ‘business meeting’ at Blue Star Coffee and Juice in the Millcreek ‘hood. We lurve it. Put simply, there’s no better spot for a snowy [or sunny, or windy] morning meeting of lattes, fresh veggie juice, and work. It’s all toasty and comfortable up in there; we particularly …

Utah Clean Air Rally

Something is horribly wrong when you wake up with a sore throat. You can’t see the mountains, your neighbor’s home is hardly visible. The air quality in SLC, and all of Northern Utah, for that matter, is a growing concern. It should be at the tip-top of our legislator’s ‘to do’ list…but it’s not. Yet. …

Blooms & Co.

Brynn Larsen is the owner and one-woman band behind local downtown flower joint, Blooms and Co. It’s a far cry from the norm; you’ll find none of that generic, tele-floral nonsense up in here. Brynn’s fine art degree, posh-punk style, and passion for her craft are conveyed via some lovely and daring arrangements. She mustered …

LOVE | A Cabaret

We featured Scott Smith and his mixed-media performance once before; it was seriously delicious stuff. Lucky for us all, he’s got another, just perfectly timed for the upcoming over-commercialized and glorified holiday. LOVE is a mixed-media cabaret exploring the science of love; “a magical, theatrical journey exploring the visceral, scientific, and ethereal ways in which …

Browning Ave. or Bust

List Price: Sold Neighborhood: 15th and 15th Property Profile: 2,170 sq. ft. | 4 bed, 2.5 bath Our Opinion: You may have seen the preview blog for this house; it was shaping up nicely at the time. Not to toot my own designing-and-staging horn, but I say it’s looking all buttoned up and cripsy now ['toot, toot']. This …

A Gift to the Community

“The most important building on South Temple you never knew existed…” The Ladies Literary Club in the Central City neighborhood has been cultivating education, culture, and knowledge since 1877, before women had the right to attend universities. The birth of the LLC was a major push in the equality for women in Salt Lake City, and …
