Reading Time: 3 minutes You’d think it was a steamy Saturday night at the Apollo Theater. Charles Bradley and the Extraordinaires blasted a hole through the fabric of time and took Pioneer Park back to the 1960s/70s on Thursday night, July 24, at the third installment of the Twilight Concert Series in Salt Lake City. From the look, feel […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Week two of Salt Lake City’s annual Twilight concert series and things are ramping up. July 17’s concert featured indie-rock band TV on the Radio as headliners and Twin Shadow as opener. The lines to get in were much more manageable this time around, what with the additional entrance. The sweet summer evening atmosphere of […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes It all started with the hot smell of asphalt and beer. The second annual Country Explosion 4-day music festival was held at the Deseret Peak Complex in Tooele July 17-20. As we drove in to the Complex on Friday the 18th there were areas for RVs or tents for those who wanted to experience the […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Salt Lake City’s annual Twilight concert series is back. The gang of food trucks rolled in and circled like Hell’s Angels, the adult beverage tents stocked with beer and wine, and the army of port-a-potties stood like soldiers awaiting their duty. The gaggle of Salt Lakers swarmed in through the one main entrance*, a steady […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Some may think that the food truck trend will soon go out of style but as far as I could see on Friday night, the culture is as strong as ever. Following in Provo’s footsteps, Orem has started a “food truck round-up” on a weekly basis. The first weeks were held in a parking lot […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Fitz and the Tantrums are like six shots of espresso, right to the heart. For those unfamiliar with this band, they combine neo-soul and indie pop into 90 minutes of spunky, dance-inducing, heart-thumping, uplifting music. On June 30 they played a sold-out show at Red Butte Gardens. Their setlist came from two studio albums: Pickin’ […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes My favorites foods are those with names that are just two words nonsensically smashed together. So, naturally the inaugural “Fast food find” is featuring Subway’s Flatizza. I ventured into my neighborhood Subway and was overwhelmed with the familiar Subway aroma. I’m sure you know it too. The line was short as I sheepishly walked up […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Local bands Cory Mon, VanLadyLove and We are the Strike played in the latest installment of Provo’s Rooftop Concert Series to their screaming fangirls and fanboys. A tall, wild-haired, bassist that wore a white tank and red suspenders took the stage first on Friday night at this year’s second concert of Provo’s rooftop series. His […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes I have to be honest. This is not my first visit to 180 Tacos. So, while this isn’t a first impression, the fact that I’ve revisited 180 is a pretty big deal. 180 Tacos specializes in classic street tacos for 2 dollars a piece, adding 50 cents for steak or seafood. The menu is divided […]
