We need your help.
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. DONATE

Eight bizarre Utah news developments that The Ocho didn’t even make up:
8. Outgoing senator Chris Buttars has been replaced with an Osmond.
7. Utah is now the first (and only) state with an Official Gun, and it doesn’t even squirt.
6. The state is closing and/or cutting the hours of several profitable liquor stores.
5. (Soon) related: Utah is refusing $100 million in federal unemployment assistance.
4. Salt Lake City is welcoming a Mormon Vatican/Disneyland to downtown.
3. The Utah Jazz are still getting paid millions to play only slightly better basketball than the Utah Grizzlies.
2. Utah now recognizes gold and silver as legal tender. Even though they already were.
1. City Weekly gave KSL’s Doug Wright a Best of Utah award last week.
