Newspapers and media companies nationwide are closing or suffering mass layoffs since the coronavirus impacted all of us starting in March. City Weekly's entire existence is directly tied to people getting together in groups--in clubs, restaurants, and at concerts and events--which are the industries most affected by new coronavirus regulations.
Our industry is not healthy. Yet, City Weekly has continued publishing thanks to the generosity of readers like you. Utah needs independent journalism more than ever, and we're asking for your continued support of our editorial voice. We are fighting for you and all the people and businesses hardest hit by this pandemic.
You can help by making a one-time or recurring donation on PressBackers.com, which directs you to our Galena Fund 501(c)(3) non-profit, a resource dedicated to help fund local journalism. It is never too late. It is never too little. Thank you.

Despite the growing COVID-19 cases in Utah, people are moving here, and they need places to live. We are down in housing inventory and developers aren't able to keep up with the demand.

This is a time of potentially great change in our country. As members of the National Association of Realtors, we abide by the federal fair housing laws when helping folks buy and or sell properties of any type in Utah, no matter our client's race, color, religion, sex, sexual preference, disability, familial status or national origin.
In the U.S., housing discrimination against African Americans was so intense that, in the 1930s, the Home Owners' Loan Corporation created color-coded maps of neighborhoods said to be high risk for loan defaults.
Who knew peaceful little Utah would have its own riots sparked by the murder of an African American man held by police officers in Minnesota? Protesters overturned and burned cars, looters broke windows and crowds lobbed water bottles and rocks at police.
The piece of pie had to be foldable in half with the grease dripping down my arm like it did with a slice from Joe's or Ray's in Manhattan or Brooklyn.
While car traffic out on the roads is light, it's interesting to see how many are speeding on Interstate 15. I find myself in the fast lane and soon realize even I am speeding, going 90 mph because I'm not paying attention and just going with the flow. Slow the F down!
