How many times do you get bombarded by the AT&T sales reps? So sick and tired of this. I paid for my membership so I can go into the store and choose what I want to buy. This has to 🛑.
Let’s all start complaining to management and try to make a change in these stores.
Overall, the product sells itself and let’s drop all the drama.
Shame on sales reps at AT&T and Costco for allowing this.
What is the worst Apartment complex you have ever lived in here in SLC? Please include rent cost, and reasons that made your living experience terrible.
Hey everyone we have a chance to change utahs horrible justice system that keeps getting overlooked but we can change it DONT vote for Sim Gill
Vote for your favorite dog in the neighborhood for crying out loud because at least it will notice you.
Utah has a problem with avoiding the Declaration of Independence and the whole concept of innocent until proven guilty.
I work in the courthouse and I’m sickened .. so many corrupt people need to be removed or there is not going to be any change for a better future, alot of them are wonderful and truly work hard everyday to help people but one rotten fruit can disease the whole tree.
If you care about our beautiful city and the people served and who died for us who have sacrificed their lives for us .. 🇺🇸 USA
Hey everyone,
I (M) just moved to SLC (Sandy) recently after divorcing my ex-husband. I just turned 31 and made it a goal this year to read more literature.
To keep myself accountable (and it sounded fun) I wanted to invite others to join me in this literary society! We’ll be reading through 48 classic & modern books together; one book a week (two for the longer ones). No essays nor pressure, just honest takes and one small experiment you put to practice in your life from the book.
Here is how our weekly rhythm will look:
• The Sunday Huddle: we will host a virtual meeting every Sunday via Zoom to sync up and talk through our current read.
• Afterglow Report: we will use a quick streamlined template to track our thoughts, log our immediate reactions, and drive the main conversation.
• Trivia & Games: to keep things interactive and energetic, the second half of the meeting will feature games, questions (Kahoot, top 3 fav singers, etc.), trivia, and overall to learn about our fellow Litizens lol.
At the end of the month, I will have a gift box for the Litizen who’s accrued the highest points 🎁
If you want a reading practice that actually changes how you see yourself & the world, along with a sense of community, send an email to LitHappens.LiterarySociety48@Gmail.com
I will forward you the Syllabus & Afterglow Report PDF’s and we can get started! And if you feel it’s not for you in the long run, I’m thankful you got a book or two under your belt 😌
WOODWORKERS: Where do you suggest getting your hardwoods from out here? Something other than the big orange/blue box stores, of course. Burton Lumber has some rough reviews.
Hard maple, sapele, oak, purple heart, etc.
S2S is just fine. I'm interested in boards, slabs, smaller stock for accent pieces, etc.
On September 16th, a pedestrian was hit and killed on 4th south and Main Street: [https://kutv.com/news/local/pedestrian-killed-in-downtown-salt-lake-hit-and-run-suspect-at-large\](https://kutv.com/news/local/pedestrian-killed-in-downtown-salt-lake-hit-and-run-suspect-at-large)
Today, less than 3 weeks later, a motorcyclist died after hitting a truck (ETA: at 4th and West Temple): [https://www.ksl.com/article/51632702/fatal-crash-closes-salt-lake-city-intersection\](https://www.ksl.com/article/51632702/fatal-crash-closes-salt-lake-city-intersection)
Regardless of who may be to blame, the problem boils down to the same thing: total lack of enforcement of any traffic safety laws in the downtown core. From running red lights, gunning through yellow ones, riding scooters on sidewalks or riding bikes through intesections going opposite of traffic, navigating downtown in any form feels more and more fraught every day.
I have no answers. But the Downtown Community Council (I'm the current chair) is the Neighborhood Group trying to bring about some change. We're/I'm looking for help, but I'm also looking for solutions. (And maybe a place to vent a tiny bit).
I know the instinct (I'm often guilty of it) is to look at the ways solutions will be vetoed by the Leg, but perhaps some smart and passionate people can come up with something that could spark some change.
We're already working on getting scooter speed throttled in the core of downtown. On more sidewalk signage indication which direction to ride and not riding on the sidewalks. But there is so much more to be done in order to get back to feeling SAFE to walk in downtown, without fear that you are putting yourself at grave bodily injury simply for being on a street or sidewalk.
DMs open. Sorry for the rant. I love Downtown. How can we make this awful aspect of it a bit better!
Signed,
Sighing in Salt Lake
