Nice Additions[edit]

Good work...frankly, my search for the history of the paper was mostly in vain, so I just wrote what I knew...which was about what I got from reading it.

Thank you. That's why I wanted to make this article. I actually started gathering notes on it and the dailies a while ago--I'm a bit of a newspaperphile. When I saw you made the article, I went ahead and put everything I could find into it. I don't think such a comprehensive history of the paper exists online or possibly anywhere, so I think it's very useful. Most of the sources are from the ten year issue (in 2002), which contain a lot of the writer's personal stories. For events since 2000 or so, I relied mostly on the Deseret News and AAN capsules. (The Tribune doesn't seem to keep stories online for as long as they used to). CHL 19:13, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

LOL, you remind me of a close friend of mine, now if I could get him onto wikipedia, i think we could really get things going in these local articles...Jon 19:23, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

The picture at the top makes it look like this is a joke paper, but then when you read the article it seems to say that the paper is supposed to be serious? I don't get it. Everyking 01:54, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The photo at the top is an uncharacteristic image. They do a once-yearly "Best of Utah" issue which always has some sort of theme. Their current cover, for example, is about the late state Consumer Services Commission. Cool Hand Luke 03:38, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I was suspecting something like that, but really it should be captioned or changed somehow to avoid confusion. Everyking 04:13, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hard liquor in Utah[edit]

This statement in the City Weekly article is not true:

In Utah, "private clubs" are the only businesses allowed to serve hard liquor except for state-owned liquor stores.

For example, the Olive Garden in Salt Lake serves hard liquor. The only distinction I know of regarding private clubs in Utah is that they can sell alcohol without an accompanying food order (if you're sitting in the "bar", the Olive Garden will just put a basket of bread sticks in front of you), and they can permit smoking indoors. I didn't want to edit the article myself, since I don't want to step on anybody's toes and the article seems pretty decent overall. Just that one factual error that I saw, and then you might remove the "hot-headed" reference to the Utah Weekly. That comment doesn't strike me as very neutral. For the record, I think the City Weekly is most certainly anti-Mormon, but the wikipedia article here seems fair.

So I'm going to go ahead and remove the erroneous statement, since nobody else seems to care.

05 April 2007 - My thanks and kudos to all who have put this article together and honed it to its present state. We in the Salt Lake area are fortunate to have the dedicated staff of City Weekly working for us - and of course the price is right - where else could you get such a great paper for free?

No "The" in City Weekly[edit]

Just an explanation of my changes. It's a minor style issue: We don't call ourselves "The City Weekly" or "The Salt Lake City Weekly." Just plain "City Weekly" or "Salt Lake City Weekly" will do. Thanks! (On the other hand, if the "the" refers to an attribute of the paper, it's acceptable. For instance, you might talk about "the City Weekly staff" or "the City Weekly office on Main Street.")

BTW, everybody I've talked to at CW thinks that the people who maintain this Wikipedia article are doing a bang-up job. Thanks very much! Rangergordon (talk) 07:05, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
