KILBY BLOCK PARTY DAY 1
…
What a way to kick off an incredible weekend of music with an amazing lineup of familiar and legendary acts for day one. The weather was great, vibes weee high and every act came to perform with great sets from @modestmouse and the return of @fatherjohnmisty both with new songs and a horn section?! @turnstileluvconnection turned it up for the finale with frothing fans waiting for their thunderous set. @diespitz can certainly kick the cute out of metal music while the rodeo grounds turned into a rodeo mosh pit with @showmethebody

Downtown Ogden parking is officially going paid.
After a City Council meeting that stretched past midnight, officials approved a managed parking program for parts of downtown Ogden—including Historic 25th Street, Kiesel Avenue and the WonderBlock garage—despite strong opposition from residents and business owners.
The city says the program will help turnover parking and offset debt from a new parking structure, while critics argue it could hurt local businesses and discourage visitors from coming downtown.
