SLC Mayor Erin Mendenhall on new Ballpark site designs. Earlier today, 3 options were presented to the Redevelopment Agency of SLC. Only one largely keeps the stadium, another removes it entirely, while a third is an adaptive reuse that removes much of the stadium seating.

  • BONUS: Mendenhall said she wrapped up negotiations with the Miller Family earlier today, and she agreed to name the first-ever SLC Poet Laureate.

RJ Walker and friends of the Lords of Misrule Theatre Co. — SLC’s Punk Thespians™ — are back with their interactive version of a Christmas classic to feed the hungry, shelter the poor, and punish the wicked. What better way to celebrate Christmas than that? A big thank you to all the Lords — Connor Bond, Nami Escandarian, Bunny Bigard, Erin Dickes, Quali Reed — for showing us how it's done on the show tonight.
