Get ready for something unexpected! James recaps his recent visit to Ogden, Utah and how the town has transformed over the past few years. Ogden is located just north of Salt Lake City and was once a gritty railroad town. However, recent investment and development has turned it into an up-and-coming, artsy, mountain destination. Does Ogden's growth, outdoor recreation, and real estate make it a potential hometown? Depends on your hobbies and occupation, but YES. Denise is all up in arms over e-bike hunting, James is sick of virtue signaling, and Huffington Post is intoxicated on their own crazy news headlines. This one is packed with info on life in Utah and lots of jokes… a few of which are even funny! We're gaining subscribers every day on YouTube... Care to join the party? And our social media is pretty damn cool for a coupla Gen-Xers. You should follow us!

Sara Toliver, President and CEO of Visit Ogden, joins the Destination Marketing Podcast to discuss the amazing transformation that has occurred in her destination over the past several years. Topics include cultivating a quality of life that is attractive to potential visitors, as well as how to escape stereotypes and grow your destination into the kind of place you'd like it to be. "It's sometimes hard to get out of the firehose of the crisis coming your way, but if you can use it as an opportunity to take a step back and refocus and understand that there is always an opportunity to do better or do things differently, then sometimes those crises give you an opportunity to take a risk that might be harder to take on a normal day." -Sara Toliver on refocusing and taking risks in crisis situations

Sara & Kim are helping to lay the tracks for the 2019 Transcontinental Railroad Sesquicentennial Celebration. With the connection of the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific, along with other rail lines that went north and south of Ogden in the following years, Ogden was designated in 1874 as the junction location of the two railroad companies, earning it the nickname “Junction City.” 150 year's later, Ogden is celebrating this iconic event that with a reenactment of two steam locomotives meeting at Promontory Summit and the Ogden Union Station. This week we leave you with a little something from our Van Sessions archives: Naomi Harlan with her song, "The Wild Wild West."
