Show LETTER FROM THE EDITOR EVERY CITY NEEDS A LIFELINE. STAFF INFECTION ►'; PHOTOGRAPHY SPENCER HARRIS And in this issue, we are excited to share some of Utah Valley's with you. We chose these streets for their historical significance and the amount of business on those streets, but also because they have some beautiful and interesting sites, many of which are great local hangouts. We are seeing a change in some of these areas, like in Provo, the construction of the convention center. The change is disruptive, but hopefully good; we've seen some wonderful shops leave and others more suited to feeding and entertaining a convention center of people pop up. Provo Center Street is about to go through an awkward transition, and those shops nearby could use support as they fare the storm. And as for the rest, activity will only increase their ability to give the people what they want. Go for an adventure, hit up some shops and cafes and stimulate these streets. IF YOU WERE MAYOR OF A CITY, WHAT WOULD ITS MAIN STREET INCLUDE? UNICORNS. JUST WANDERING AROUND. NAKED LADIES. FIVE DIFFERENTLY-THEMED BARS. BRITTANY PLOTHOW, WRITER ROAMING PACKS OF STARVING DOGS.
