City Cast Salt Lake As Sears Comes Down, We Flirt With State Street’s Past
State Street could easily be considered the grand boulevard of our city. The multi-lane highway cuts through the heart of Salt Lake County, climbing up to the Utah State Capitol and running up and down the whole state as U.S. 89.
Recently, State Street has undergone some drastic changes — notably, the former Sears has come crumbling down to make way for new development. The demolition has us feeling nostalgic for the glory days on State. Host Ali Vallarta celebrates its storied history with Jaime Ria, a local teacher who used to joyride and scope out cuties on State Street in the ‘70s.
