We've finally arrived at the moment you have all been waiting for... We visited Lagoon! Thanks to our guest Matt for accompanying us on this journey.

Lagoon is a very special place as it is the largest amusement park in Utah. There is no way we will even scratch the surface of this place in one episode so stay tuned for many more in the future.

While we talk about a lot of things, we have many questions for you the listener. What is your favorite ride? What are your thoughts on the new ride? Were the mermaids on Tidal Wave always fully clothed? Would you recognize us if we dressed up as McGruff for Halloween this year?

As always, find us on our social media or send us an email. We love to hear from you.

What do does a sword, Kodak and a kayak all have in common? It’s all in The Vault! Only here on the This is a Place podcast can you get the facts about what’s really inside the secret catacombs at the mouth of little cottonwood canyon.

A big thanks to Alan who spent some time behind the scenes at the vault and was kind enough to provide his voice and experiences for this mysterious place.

Only in Utah can we slap turkey, cheese and sprouts between two deep fried pastries and call it healthy. Who’s been doing this consistently for 43 years? It could only be Sconecutter! And don’t forget, we’re going for 5 stars here people!

Happy 24th of July! There's nothing more fitting for a Pioneer Day than listening to an episode of This is a Place in which we talk about This is the Place. 

A sincere thank you to the park and for getting us in touch with our guest Brian Westover who gave us a lot of great insights in to the park. 

Did Brigham Young utter the words “This is the place?”  What ever happened to the park’s haunted village? Can I safely visit the park during the pandemic at a discount? Listen in to find out! While you’re at it, be a pioneer yourself and share this podcast with 47 of your closest friends. It’s what Brigham would have wanted.

Emos, headstones with websites, prominent Mormons, and hammocks? These are all things you can find at The Salt Lake City Cemetery. In this week's episode, we are also joined by Chris Sirrine who, in our opinion, is an expert grave finder. What is your favorite grave in this cemetery? Let us know here:

If you find yourself at 1904 W. & 5400 S. in Taylorsville, your dollar won't go quite as far as it once did. Close to four years ago the movie theater at this location closed it's doors forever so developers could fry bigger fishes... and chicken... and steaks. Many changes happened over the 36 years that the building stood. In 1980, it started as the first 6 plex Fast forward 20 years and you'll find the dollar theater that many remember. It may not be comparable to the behemoths around the corner these days, this isn't a theater we will soon forget.

Did you know that there is a 75-year-old sculpture garden in Utah? Neither did we. You'll also be interested to find out that it is the only designated visionary art environment in the state of Utah. Look at us getting all cultured.

Gilgal is an eccentric spot in where you can take a stroll, snap some cool Instagram pics, and enjoy some quiet. You're going to find a sphynx with the face of Joseph Smith, symbolic stones, and maybe even a transient or two, but we suggest going to this garden is something you should do.

For this episode, Brandon and Nate had the opportunity to speak with Arthur Owens who is the owner of the pop-up restaurant Row Ohh's Chicken and Waffles. By checking this place out you'll be supporting a growing local business, interaction with a talented and genuine individual, and some 90's nostalgia. Oh, and the food is AMAZING.

Make sure you listen to the full episode as you'll get to hear the debut of the officially unoffical Row Ohh's Chicken and Waffles jingle at the end!

There's nothing like a warm summer night under the stars while listening to one of your favorite bands live. USANA Amphitheater is a great place to have such an experience. Every year (this year being the exception) you'll find a long list of concerts to enjoy from country to rap. Grab a premium reserved seat closer to the stage or chill back on the grass. However you do it, you'll find a great atmosphere, stellar music and a picturesque view of the Wasatch Front.

If halfway through the episode you wonder "this seems a little long for an episode on USANA" then you are probably right. But what would an episode be without arguments over bands that we like, well timed dad jokes or some shade thrown at Barry Manilow? Well, it wouldn't be an episode of This is a Place. So throw that podcast app on 2x speed and enjoy!
