Happy Inaugural 801 Day, Perfect Salt Lake!
Happy 801 Day Salt Lake City! With a recent proclamation from SLC Mayor Erin Mendenhall, 8/01 is officially a holiday celebrating our city’s original area code. But what makes the 801 so great in the first place? And why do we choose to stay even when we feel embattled? Alleyways Amplified founder and creative optimist Vishwa Srinivasan finds light in the literal dark corners of our city, and tells host Ali Vallarta why Salt Lake can be perfect.
