City Cast Salt Lake
🍻 The best trivia nights in SLC
October 3, 2025 · Thank you to City Cast Salt Lake podcast host Ali Vallarta for editing this week.
Hey, Salt Lake! We made it to Friday, the final day of our fall membership campaign. Thank you so much to those of you who’ve joined City Cast Salt Lake Neighbors.
Let me give it to you straight: If you read Hey Salt Lake every morning, every now and then or once in a blue moon, we need you (yes YOU 🫵) to help us reach our membership goal — like, right now! Your support is absolutely essential to keeping this newsletter in your inbox.
Think of City Cast Salt Lake Neighbors as an additional resource to help you feel more connected to life here, whether through our members-only events or our curated events guide that proves, once and for all, we’re anything but boring (I’m not over it, Charles Barkley 😤).
Don’t wait! Today is your last day to join and get your hands on the Neighbors Make Salt Lake tote bag.
What's CITY Talking About?

SLC Airport Status After the Government Shutdown
Salt Lake City International Airport reported no disruptions to security or travel despite the federal government shutdown, as TSA agents continue working with delayed pay. [Salt Lake Tribune 🔒]
Iceberg in Draper To Close
Sad news for those in the south end of the valley: After 65 years in business, Ballard’s Iceberg in Draper is closing. Their last day open will be Saturday, Oct. 4. A proposal is in place to demolish the restaurant and build a Jiffy Lube. [Instagram]
Hotels Roll Into Downtown SLC
The hotel scene in downtown SLC is thriving. Should locals accept that downtown is for tourism and hangout elsewhere? Or is there a way to have both? [City Cast Salt Lake 🎧]
