Abravanel Hell, Another Mysterious Fire, and Midtowners Unite

A Salt Lake City building burned down this weekend, right before it was scheduled for demolition - and it’s not even the first time that’s happened. Host Ali Vallarta and executive producer Emily Means put on their tinfoil hats and muse on the importance of fire preparedness. Plus, setting the record straight on Abravanel Hall, the Midtown Business District wants your input, and Utah’s statuesque representation in D.C.
If the sponsored interview with the Human Rights Campaign piqued your interest, learn more about their work in Utah (www.hrc.org/in-your-area/utah) , and attend their annual dinner (utah.hrc.org/events/utah-dinner) on Saturday, June 15.
