Back to EpisodesComedian Trashes SLC, Utah’s Unpopular Politicians, Sugar House Restaurant Exodus
Description
Comedian Shane Gillis talked trash about Salt Lake City, and Mayor Erin Mendenhall had something to say about it. Host Ali Vallarta, executive producer Emily Means, and City Cast Salt Lake contributor Molly Miloscia challenge the idea that Salt Lake City is in decline. Plus, Utah voters are increasingly unhappy with Gov. Spencer Cox, and a once-busy Sugar House restaurant plaza is suddenly empty.
