Segment 1:
Since his first election in 2008, Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker has promoted walkable neighborhoods, the idea of allowing markets and restaurants to co-exist with homes and condos. He’d like that mix to include bars and taverns as well, but some residents worry about wild parties, traffic and drunk drivers that a bar could bring to quiet residential areas. On Wednesday, we’ll talk about the corner bar concept and the philosophical debate about where pubs should be allowed.
Guests:
- David Everitt, Chief of Staff, SLC Mayor Ralph Becker
- Jonathan Dibble, resident of District 6
Segment 2:
Terry Tempest Williams describes Katie Lee as “a woman who embodies the power and tenacious beauty of the Colorado Plateau.” She’s been a river guide, a Hollywood actress songwriter and author, writing eloquently about cowboy music and forcefully about draining Lake Powell. Now in her 90s, Lee is publishing yet another book and on Wednesday, she joins us to talk about environmentalism, wilderness and Glen Canyon.
Guest:
