Episode 248 – Coney Island of the West

Standard

This episode of The New Utah Podcast is missing Jessica but has Jeremy’s sister, Holly filling in.  We’re excited to have Holly with us for this episode because our Historically Significant Utah place is Saltair and if anyone knows how to party it up at a concert venue, it’s Holly!

Chris reports his findings for the great curry sampling we did through our friends at Utah Taste Off.  These folks have a lot of fun tastings coming up so check them out on Instagram and sign up!  Chris, Jeremy and I talk about our various home improvement projects and Holly updates us on her bout with COVID and her recent vaccination.  Jeremy is a famous author, at least in his son’s middle school.  Jonathan has enjoyed a month of fun when his dad’s book is named as book of the month.

As I mentioned we talk about the spectacular and tragic history of Saltair.  It was first built at the end of the 1800’s as an amusement park and a wholesome destination for dates and families.  Owned and developed by the LDS Church it was the place to be until the first fire.  Yup, there have been three fires in the history of Saltair but that doesn’t keep the place down.  It’s now been resurrected as an event and concert venue.  In that vein, we discuss Utah’s other amusement parks, event centers and concert venues.
