Good morning, Utah Today readers! Here’s your forecast: ⛅ 21 – 42 in Logan | 💧 10% chance ⛅ 33 – 50° in Salt Lake City | 💧 10% chance 🌤️ 43 – 69° in St. George This is my last time writing Utah Today. I’ve loved writing for you, and I’ve loved getting your responses even more. My favorite day on the job was when I asked about your pets’ names and opened up my inbox the next day to over 30 emails from you guys telling me all about your furry (and not-so-furry) friends. I’m still laughing about Cletus the "inbred rescue kitten" and Copernicus "the world’s ‘dumbest’ golden retriever." And it wouldn’t be Friday if I didn’t leave you with a few of my favorite arts and culture articles: 🎸 Michael J. Fox and the ‘Back to the Future’ cast are coming to Utah: here’s what you should know: FanX is hosting the cast of “Back to the Future” in September. 🍗 Post Malone’s Raising Cane’s has a Barbie meets Medieval aesthetic: The celeb/Utah evangelist designed the eye-catching new chicken shop in Midvale. 🦎 Watch the BYU short animated film that won a 2023 ‘student Emmy’: The BYU animation students won an award for a cute film about an axolotl. 🥂 ‘The Great Gatsby’ failed ... until it didn’t: One of my favorite books of the 20th century canon. 🩰 The forgotten story of how Salt Lake’s performing arts centers came to be: If there is one thing that is amazing about Utah, it’s that you can go skiing in the morning and attend a world-class ballet or opera that very same evening. 🌊 Hell or high water: Not exactly an ✌️arts✌️ story, but this one about how the community came together to deal with the flooding in 1983 really touched me. Keep reading Utah Today — my colleagues are sure to write some great stuff for you every morning! Adieu!
