Parchment and Pallet etsy.com/shop/ParchmentAndPallet “Be still, my heart,” I thought as I saw Jacqueline and Logan Whitmore bustling around their baby blue, 1950s Shasta trailer, making sure each item was nestled just right. Parchment and Pallet collect classic American retro items, mostly from the ’40s to the ’70s. You could find all sorts of gems
Salt Valley Vintage: CLC Vintage Vendor
Salt Valley Vintage etsy.com/shop/SaltValleyVintage Stepping into Jane Stringham’s apartment—which doubles as her work space—is like stepping into an episode of Mad Men. She has an eye for aesthetics that are clean, effortless and simultaneously charming, rich and, dare I say, groovy. Case in point: Hanging on her wall is a 1960s floral dress in
Mike Brown: Rose Park Life
I recently moved away from the comfort and convenience of living Downtown to the Rose Park area, which is happily located north and west of Downtown. Most of my grown-up friends who aren’t total alcoholics and have managed to maintain a decent credit score and somehow pay off their student loans have bought houses out
From The Shadows of New Zealand: Jemaine Clement
Last week, we finally saw the release of the mockumentary vampire film, What We Do In The Shadows. A look into the lives of a vampire clan living in New Zealand and the daily routine they go through with the undead culture around them, the film earned major praise coming out of Sundance 2014, but only

Letting the GoodTimes Roll: 15 Years of Inking SLC
When it comes to tattooing the community, GoodTimes Tattoo has not only been around for 15 years—making it one of Salt Lake’s more seasoned tattoo shops—but it has also continually produced high-quality tattoos throughout its existence. With a brand-new location on 1249 S. 900 E., the folks at GoodTimes are hoping to continue to provide
Mike Brown: Miss Utah!!!
A few weeks ago, I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing the current Miss Utah. The last time I interacted with a pageant queen was when I was asked to show a former Miss Utah how to skateboard on the live morning local newscast. Needless to say, she ended up eating street on live TV
48 Hour Film Project – No Sleep ’til Screening
Local filmmakers, actors and writers put their skills to the test last weekend for the 2015 installment of the 48 Hour Film Project and subsequent short film festival.
