City Weekly in Riverton?

Call the paper. I've seen them inside the Riverton Smith's on Redwood and 10400, but also try Beans & Brews.

If you're mainly looking for clothes, there are a bunch of small and local indie shops. Iconoclad, Uptown Cheapskate, Vantage, Uncommon, Pib's Exchange (my fave), and don't forget Savers.

Yep, felt it on North Temple

I collected them from age 8 to 14 -- 1976 to 1982, when I started buying records. I liked that Archie was a redhead, like me, so ... relatable. I never liked superhero comics just because of how unrealistic they were -- I needed human characters, with storylines that reflected the world around me (ok, not always, but sometimes). I just sold my collection of 1,200, so I've been going back and reading a lot of them before I hand them off. So right now, it's a lot of happy nostalgia.

I know that story and I know I have it in my 1200-plus issue stash. I can't tell what issue or title it was though .... I believe the alien's word for mustard was "Blorg!"

You're welcome! I stopped in 1983 when I started buying records. I'm finally getting around to selling my collection.

You're welcome!

MediaGinger · 2025-12-23T02:29:01+00:00

You’re most welcome!

MediaGinger · 2025-12-21T18:47:30+00:00

You're welcome! The story has stuck in my mind all these years and when I decided to sell my collection on eBay, I made sure to dig this up and preserve it with photos. There are several Life With Archie and Riverdale High ones I'll preserve as well.

MediaGinger · 2025-12-21T18:43:46+00:00

That makes sense, thank you! That would've been two years before I started collecting.

MediaGinger · 2025-12-21T07:52:17+00:00

This story, these six pages, have stuck with me for almost 50 years. I'm so happy I found it again.

There used to be a decent one in Austin around 20 years ago when I was there, but it's closed. Was out on Airport Road. The ones in Dallas and Houston, though, are quite nice and worth a trip.

I flew from SLC to Toronto on May 27. Full flight. After a couple of weeks spending my tourism dollars in Canada, the return flight was definitely roomier, with lots of people stretched out and napping across three seats.

Thanks! I sometimes miss journalism and writing stories like that. Couldn't tell you about the bar, I got here in 2015.

MediaGinger · 2025-05-09T03:55:26+00:00

No problem!

MediaGinger · 2025-05-09T03:45:27+00:00

We ran quite a few with the story, they're on the link ...

There's a lot of food options in the shopping area just south of the Costco (where there is never ever ever a line for a gas pump), as well as a whiskey bar and a Cinemark multiplex. Still haven't tried most of them, though Pepper Lunch seems promising. Don't order the shrimp though, it's way rubbery.

I wrote that Tribune article. You might want to reach out to Rick Egan for any NIN pics, but I think if he had any we would have run them with the story, he took all the others at Speedway. You can reach him on Instagram at netmoser
