Good morning! When I travel to other places, I always wonder if I can spot a Utahn by their look alone (or maybe their accent). Do you think Utahns have a distinct look/style? Surely this can’t be what all of us look like.
What's CITY Talking About?
300 W. Construction
Salt Lake City’s biggest construction project on 300 W. is finally done. The city added over 220,000 square feet of sidewalks, new asphalt, bike lanes, and trees and shrubs to beautify the street. Many businesses along the path were negatively impacted by the construction that lasted a few years. [Salt Lake Tribune]

Salt Lake’s Olympic Bid
It’s official: The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee just endorsed Salt Lake City as the country’s bid city for the Winter Games. This means we could possibly host the games in 2034 or 2030, though it’s more likely to happen in 2034 since Los Angeles is hosting the Summer Games in 2028. [FOX 13]

Where Is It?
Shoutout to Alex V. and Alex K. for correctly guessing the trail. It’s Wasatch Crest looking over Lake Desolation. Wow, what a sight.
After your nature walk, it’s time for a city walk. Can you guess the location of this stunning mural?
