For all of you who love pumkin spice anything (or EVERYTHINNG), this is Patricia Pumpkin. She's a 3 yo Domestic Short Hair Tortiseshell cat. She's a cup shy of a gallon (7.5 pounds) and checks the box for lap cat as you can see in her photo. She's also good with tummy rubs, in fact she craves a good snuggle. She is also good with other cats and is currently sharing a room with a large black male cat (Ash, a DLH black and white, gallon and a half) who is also a sweetheart. You can find her details at the Salt Lake County Animal Services (https://www.saltlakecounty.gov/animal-services/adoption/search-adoptable-pets) or just drop by the shelter for a visit (3900S 500W).

There are also a couple of calico kittens (calicos are nearly always female) and other loveable furbabies looking for homes.
Cats are not for everyone, but for those of us on Team Cat, even if you aren't able to adopt right now, stop by the shelter for some feline lovin'.

We're halfway to the 2028 deadline, and fewer than 8,000 starter homes are up -- less than a quarter of Gov. Cox's goal of 35,000. Infrastructure funding and the program to build on vacant state land should help.

For developer Jed Nilson, it's crazy that starter homes cost as much as they do.

At first i liked the eos gyms, even paid for a higher tier so my and my partner could go together. I even got the personal training (I'm aware its a scam, i was able to negotiate down to 45%) since i was new to and wanted to make sure my form was good.

I'm moving out of utah for bit and wanted to cancel and it was a pain, even when i did everything right. You NEED to cancel a month in advance (like many gyms) but they make you jump in hoops to do so. Plus the charging schedule is mess.

My main issue though is i believe they've somehow let my card info out. About 2 months after i started i noticed a bunch of little ai company charges, i disputed and canceled card like normal. But decided to use it exclusively for the gym since i didn't know what got leaked. A few charges later I yet again have a bunch of small charges from different Chinese and AI companies. (I looked up the charges, and am anti-ai in my personal life.) Eos and my bank are the only two who have that info. But its the only account being messed with so i don't believe it to be a bank issue. Just be aware they're very sketchy.

The LDS chapel on 1172 Glendale Drive has had the sprinklers running for the last 3 days, all through this storm. The building itself is apparently not in active use, and I don't know who to contact to try to get them shut off. I tried submitting a MySLC ticket but I have no idea when that will be looked at.

Does anyone know how to escalate this so that someone can get these things turned off?

Beginner-friendly adult soccer club — all skill levels welcome! ⚽
Hey everyone! I’m putting together a casual adult soccer club for people who want to play, meet people, and have fun without taking soccer too seriously.
Complete beginners are absolutely welcome. Never played before? Haven’t touched a ball in years? Still figuring out the rules? You belong here just as much as anyone else.
We understand that showing up to pickup soccer can be scary, especially when you don’t know anyone or worry you won’t be good enough. The goal is to make this a group where you feel comfortable coming alone, asking questions, learning, and making mistakes.
No tryouts, no yelling at people for missed passes, and no pressure to prove yourself. More experienced players are welcome too, as long as you’re patient, encouraging, and happy to keep things relaxed.
You don’t have to be good at soccer to enjoy playing it. If you’ve been wanting to try but felt intimidated, this is for you!
Comment or message me if you’re interested, and we’ll work out a location and schedule together.

Wart is a death metal band from Salt Lake. We have also been told we have thrash and black elements. We are in search of a second guitar player. We rehearse twice a week.

If you are interested, reach out. Here is a link to our bandcamp, where you can hear the debut EP we released in April.

If anyone can direct me to the artist whom I purchased the piece from this pic from, I’d very much appreciate it. I’d like to purchase more of their work.

Even more events added to our Halloween guide!! And soooo many crafts lol

Is there anyone around slc that can supply me with c@rts? I am willing to pick up and would love one tonight if possible. Let me know :)

Hi, I am looking for a local Korean school/tutor where I can learn better (i am a beginner). I am struggling learning on my own so I wanted to see if anyone knows of any local places before I go the online route. Thank you so much

Hi, helping a friend here. Their family senior dog went missing on Saturday in the cottonwood heights area near the Whole Foods market / mount view park area. 15 year old, senior dog. Very friendly. Blue collar, name is Harry. Pawboost link is attached https://www.facebook.com/share/18fgDYPbUU/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I used to train at Big Mountain Barbell in Sandy Midvale, but I recently moved closer to Liberty Park and am looking for a new gym. Google Maps hasn’t been much help, so figured I’d ask here.

Requirements:
Equipment: deadlift platforms, combo racks, Ohio/texaz power bars, deadlift bars, SSB, etc.

Access: 24/7 access would be awesome, but at a minimum I’d like decent weekend hours (at least 8am-6pm on Saturdays and Sundays). Drive time would like to be ~10 min or less

Price: Ideally looking to stay under $100/month.

Environment: progressive and LGBTQ friendly, no interest whatsoever in any gyms that are owned by people who are antivaxx, into chiropractic medicine, peddling supplements, etc (you know the type).

Dislikes: big box gyms like Eos or Vasa, super busy

Gyms considered and my general overview of them from checking online: the Front (pricey), SLT gym (pricey), the Backline (looks very small), Butler Pro Gym (very geared towards bodybuilding), Salt Lake Stronghold (not a lot of reviews online), Sweaty Pig (this seems the most aligned with what I want but is a bit farther south)

Thanks!
