👀 Utah Jazz players’ Letterboxd accounts
February 3, 2025 · Thanks to City Cast Salt Lake podcast host Ali Vallarta for writing today’s “What Salt Lake’s Talking About.”
Hey, Salt Lake! Ever wonder what your favorite Jazz players’ Letterboxd accounts would look like? Wonder no more.
What's CITY Talking About?
Know Your Rights, ICE Edition
Local reports of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers — A.K.A. ICE — in Salt Lake are causing confusion and fear among community members. We asked the ACLU of Utah exactly what to do if ICE knocks and how their powers differ from local police. [City Cast Salt Lake 🎧]
Deportations & Housing
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox’s senior advisor for housing strategy, Steve Waldrip, anticipates that deportations of migrant workers will not increase Utah’s housing supply. Rather, it is likely to slow construction of new housing and increase home costs. [Deseret News]
Valentine’s Day Menus
Valentine’s Day is next Friday, Feb. 14! Need a reservation to impress? Several Salt Lake restaurants are offering set menus, including Franck’s, Pago, and Tuscany. [Gastronomic SLC]

Proactive SLC Neighborhood
The Liberty Wells Community Council anticipates that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will sell its crumbling Wells Ward building on 500 East and Redondo Avenue. Which is why neighborhood leaders sketched out their dream development for the lot — ”gentle density.” [Building Salt Lake]
