I complain about living in Utah a lot. I like to act like it blows and there's nothing cool to do here. The truth is, that's a big fat lie. Utah is pretty cool if you know where to go. Like Moab, of course, during Syncro Solstice. Or my hometown, Salt Lake City.

I was talking with my co-worker the other day about the need to champion Salt Lake City--make it known how awesome it really is. Especially in the summer! So much free stuff to do.

This weekend, Mitchell and I took an early morning stroll around downtown SLC to get brunch. Our little walk turned out to be a big walk around the entire city where I snapped a bunch of photos in an effort to say, hey...SLC is pretty darn neat.

I used to work in the Kearns building. Very, very vintagey inside. The elevators were terrifying.

And Mitchell works in the Walker Center--that building on the left with the big tower up top.

Mitchell is also lucky enough to walk to work every day. One of the reasons we bought a condo in downtown SLC. We love our house. Muchly.

A peek at the MASSIVE City Creek development coming pretty soon. It's basically going to be a gigantic city center full of luxury condos and all kinds of shops and restaurants. We are all very, VERY excited about this development. Especially us since we're 3 or so blocks away from it.

We're all waiting anxiously to hear the lineup for this year's Twilight Concert Series. No, it has nothing to do with the literary abomination ruining our posterity's brains. It's a free concert series that runs all summer at one of the parks here. Some pretty stellar bands came out last year, including Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings and the New Pornographers...and Beirut...and tons more. And yes...absolutely free. Best part of living in Salt Lake if you ask me!

Of course, the best part about Salt Lake is Slowtrain, our local record store. We luff them.

I promise. Utah isn't all Mormons and lameness. Right fellow SLC-ites?

PS--I'll be back later today with a silly little freebie featuring one of my all-time favorite fashion sages. Hmm...wonder who that could be?
