CityPlanning

Episode 271 – City Planners

Standard

Howdy neighbors, this Jeremy coming at you with another exciting episode recap. This week we are joined by Ryan Barton. Ryan was born and raised here in the great state of Utah. Ryan is a friend of mine and a colleague at York Engineering.

We chat with Ryan about why he chose engineering….and how engineering chose him. Ryan talks about his education (master’s in civil engineering) and how that lead to his thesis work with accelerated bridge construction. We talk at length about city planning, poor airport construction and the Real Salt Soccer Team.  One of the most interesting stories Ryan told us was about his ‘Bubble Soccer’ or Concussion Ball incident. After flying out of the bubble suite and cracking his skull he literally lost 2-3 hours of his life…he knows it happened but can’t remember a thing.

This fun filled game of soccer landed Ryan a trip to the hospital and a craniotomy! I’m guessing Ryan hung up his bubble ball after that experience.

We also talk about the recent monsoon rains here in Utah. The total lack of rain in the past few months has led up to flash flooding, train derailment, and mud slides. I recap my weekend adventure at the Great Salt Lake. Chris and I both element over our sad gardens, and on a surprising note Bre’s mom is getting married!

Episode 265 – Juan Valdez

Standard

This episode we sit down with Nick Nelson, the sole proprietor of Logos Coffee, a local Utah coffee roaster. Nick is a Utah native, that got to experience the world through a true backpacking trip through Europe and South America. It wasn’t this trip that sparked his love for coffee though. No it was his time spent as a city planner in Denver of all places. Being surrounded by good coffee, he was inspired to learn as much as he could about it.

So he brought his new found love back to Utah, and decided why not open a business right before a global pandemic is going to hit. Wanting to stay true to the bean, so to speak, he decided to invest in and open his own roasting company. He still operates an espresso cart to show off his roasts and it can be rented out if you want, along with Nick of course. You can find Nick’s coffee at both the Wheeler Farm and Daybreak Farmers Markets all summer long.

We also dive into where you can see all the fireworks shows this year. In typical Utah fashion, the majority of public displays will actually be on July 3 and not the 4th, since it’s the lords day or something. You can find a good list here. We can’t stress enough how important it is to not light off your own fireworks. We have had way too many fires and it is simply too dry in Utah right now.

Don’t forget to support our friends at The Neighboorhood Hive as their Kickstarter is closing soon. Helping local businesses is what we are all about on this show.
