Utah’s One Thing: Enrique Limon, Former City Weekly Editor

Standard

Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

It took some time, but we were so excited to be joined for episode 150 by the (now former) editor of City Weekly, Enrique Limon. Enrique told us that the one thing you should do when visiting Utah is to allow yourself to be taken by the city. He said there is so much to do; nightlife, art spaces, pop up’s. Enrique said that one thing he remembers before he took the job at City Weekly, he was in town for a conference and he remembered waiting for the Trax and looking at the skyline and the mountains and thinking, I am a Utahn. He thought to himself, “something cool is happening here. Utah is on the brink of something,” and he just wanted to come back. Be like Enrique and go with the flow!!

Enrique also said, “don’t take what you think about the state as gospel.”
