Legends Container Village
Springville has a village made of shipping containers called Legends Container Village. The development includes a brewery, comedy club, record store, tattoo parlor, motorcycle museum, and restaurants. Not all the businesses have opened for the summer, but once fully operating, the developer hopes it’ll bring hoards of people to the Utah County town. [Salt Lake Tribune 🔒]
Another One
In what seems like an every-other-week occurrence, another car has crashed into a storefront in Salt Lake City. This time it was the Loft in Sugar House. No one was injured from the accident. [FOX 13]
How Much Do We Pay For Our Olympic Facilities?
In 1989, Utah voters approved a $59 million referendum to build Olympic facilities with taxpayer dollars. Now, taxpayers are still paying millions to keep the facilities maintained. And if we host another Winter Games, the total could hit $140 million by 2028. [Deseret News]
