What's CITY Talking About?
A Bar in Rose Park?
The Salt Lake City Planning Commission has approved a conditional use permit for the first bar in the Rose Park neighborhood. Not every resident is on board and the proprietor still needs to secure a liquor license. [City Cast Salt Lake]
Restaurants Open on Christmas
We rounded up the cheap and swanky spots open on Christmas and New Year’s Day, so that you can make reservations now and plan to get out of the house! Or, in case the Bumpuses’ dogs eat your turkey. [City Cast Salt Lake 🎧]
US Magnesium Under Fire
Per an agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency, the mining company US Magnesium is to build an underground wall keeping its acidic wastewater out of the Great Salt Lake. And yet … they haven’t. In part, because the contractor is suing US Magnesium alleging unpaid work bills. [Salt Lake Tribune 🔒]
