No doubt, finding out more about seemingly mundane landmarks casts any city—including Salt Lake City—in a richer light, and gives us a more intimate connection to a place. Which is why Jeremy Pugh and Mary Malouf teamed up to pen Secret Salt Lake: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure. “This book isn’t about secrets, per se,” explained Pugh. “We tried to capture those stories about Salt Lake City that are typically passed around through word of mouth and then research and verify them as best as we could. We hope the book provides a filter of sorts for people to see this really cool layer of Salt Lake City that they weren’t aware of before.”
