Today Along The Wasatch


🌹 SOMETHING NEW IS LIVE — THE ART OF THE DATE

A new monthly column launched this week at Mountain & Main, and if you've been letting date night slide to the bottom of the to-do list, consider this your sign.

The Art of the Date is built around a simple but powerful premise: life along the Wasatch Front is full and fast, and your relationship deserves a permanent spot on the front burner. Each month, the column delivers eight fully planned date nights — experience, dinner at three price points, and a dessert cap — so the only decision left is which night works for you.

April's debut edition runs from go-karts at The Grid in Pleasant Grove to a tulip walk at Thanksgiving Point, a live taping at Dry Bar Comedy, and an elegant evening built around Ballet West at the Capitol Theatre. Eight dates. Eight vibes. One across the Wasatch Front.

Publisher Tyler Tebbs put it plainly: "At Mountain & Main, we want to do our part to make the world a better place. One way we're going to do that is by making it easier for our readers to have loving relationships that last."

🏀 UTAH JAZZ — DELTA CENTER, TONIGHT | 7:30 PM

The Jazz close out their home schedule tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies at 7:30 PM, and in the peculiar math of a rebuilding season, Jazz fans know exactly what they're quietly rooting for.

At 21–59, Utah is tied with Sacramento for the 4th-worst record in the NBA, sitting on a 12.5% shot at the #1 pick in what analysts are calling one of the most loaded draft classes in years — headlined by a "Big Three" of A.J. Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Cameron Boozer. Two games remain.

The magic scenario: Utah loses both remaining games while Sacramento picks up a win, locking the Jazz into sole possession of the 4th-best lottery odds — and just as importantly, a 100% guarantee of keeping their top-eight protected pick away from OKC. As it stands, there's still a slim 0.6% chance that pick ends up in Thunder hands. Losing it the right way takes that off the table entirely.

The NBA Draft Lottery is May 10 in Chicago. Tonight, Jazz fans will be cheering — just maybe not for what you'd expect.
