(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) First lady Jill Biden completes an assignment, writing a statement about herself, at Glendale Middle School in Salt Lake City on Wednesday, May 5, 2021.
As Jill Biden emerged around the side of a Salt Lake County Health Department bus Wednesday, she was greeted by Comunidades Unidas members and volunteers holding a banner at Jordan Park.
“Bienvenida, Dr. Biden,” they yelled in unison.
The first lady then turned to 14-year-old Lesley Soledad, who shared with Biden how she got her name.
“When my parents came to the United States, they were confronted by the immigration patrol on the border of Arizona,” Lesley said. “They hid in bushes” near a house, and “a young girl came outside and offered my parents shelter and food.”

MOAB, Utah â The COVID-19 endgame law that terminated all public health orders related to the pandemic has ended Grand County s mask mandate in the midst of a surge in virus cases.
Grand County Commission Chair Mary McGann expressed some frustration at their mask mandate being terminated by the Utah State Legislature. I would ask the legislators to do what they preach and stop complaining about overreach and then overreaching themselves, she said in an interview Wednesday with FOX 13.
It s gone. At least for Angela Jensen, Alex Sparks and the countless residents who cycled in and out of this bohemian icon, it is gone, and with it not only the opportunity for community, but also for affordable living in a city growing anxiously in anticipation of an onslaught of population.
China Blue or the Blue, as it was fondly called sits at 959 E. 200 South in an historic district on Salt Lake s east-central community among five homes targeted for demolition to make way for new, multi-family apartments. When the owners lost their fight with the city, they painted it white. The psychedelic murals didn t fare any better, lost somewhere under layers of coverup.
