The Salt Lake City Council just approved two new historic districts on the east bench. Host Ali Vallarta and executive producer Emily Means pick apart the curious case for historic protections in the Yalecrest neighborhood. Plus, downtown SLC gets a swanky new liquor store, Salt Lake County kids get free access to rec centers, and develop your disposable at a local camera shop.

If the sponsored interview with the Human Rights Campaign piqued your interest, learn more about their work in Utah, and attend their annual dinner on Saturday, June 15.
