If you’ve spent a winter in Salt Lake, you’ve probably found yourself staring at the brown film on the horizon while wondering if you should pack it all up and leave for fresher air. It’s a fair question — and besides air quality, there are lots of reasons people leave the Wasatch Front. But really, we hope you’ll stay. Community organizers Ashley Finley and Chandler Rosenberg join host Ali Vallarta to make the case for why Salt Lake needs you and is worth fighting for.
