A scanned image of a press-printed flyer for August's SLURM (kyle did this). A SLURM Splat takes up the top half of the page, with the following text contained in a box on the lower half:
SALT LAKE URBANIST MEETUPS
PRESENTS
"CHICKEN STRIPS WITH SLURM"
Saturday, Aug. 9th, 2025 @ 12pm

A 2022 SLTrib article named the chicken tendies at the Jordan Landing Cinemark some of the best in Utah--- and not even in a real restaurant. Find out with us what exactly the deal is and how dubious the transit there is!

ITINERARY.
12:00 p.m.  Meet at American Plaza downtown
12:36-1:13   Red Line from Gallivan to Jordan Valley
1:24-1:24    Route 240 to Jordan Landing
(later)          Return via Red Line as convenient

Feel free to join mid-route if that's better for you!

SLURM August 9th! Meet us at American Plaza at Noon for a trek to the Jordan Landing Cinemark to try what some say are among the best chicken tendies in Utah, maybe ever. Details in the flyer below!

There are no plans that I know of since I (Becca) will be going to the Pride Festival, I assume Sofi will be doing the same but I don't know

With SLURM planning slowing down in recent months, I would like to start promoting other urbanist-adjacent events to keep you all in the loop!

SLURM UPDATE:

It has come to my attention that our train lost tracking around 2 hours ago near Grunction, CO. SLURM will continue, but if our train is substantially delayed (>2hrs), we will likely catch the final scheduled Frontrunner instead.
