Any recommendations for Salt Lake City?

Russet and I will be there for part of Wednesday and Thursday next week and I'm looking for good restaurants and such. Also any good used CD or book stores.

I think we'll be near the university center, but we're driving, so moving about isn't an issue.

Thanks!

I haven't noticed imminent snow smelling different, if I remember I'll try to pay attention to that this winter.  I can usually tell by the look of the clouds.  At least here - no idea if snow clouds look different from a lower altitude.  We have a lookout point that lets you see to White Sands and the Organ Mountains, a good 70 miles or so.  And I have photos of a cloud layer filling that valley starting just below Cloudcroft.  It's always interesting driving down in weather like that.  When I get my photography web site back up, I'll try and remember to send you a link to that one photo in particular - my hosting service changed the IP addresses on some of my sites and didn't tell me in advance!  Now I have to update info on my domain registration site, and just haven't gotten around to doing it yet.

I don't know how to describe it. When the air is damp and getting ready to rain on us, it just smells wet. The smell of approaching snow has a bit of a musky or pungent undertone to it. Almost like how very cold air tricks your nose into thinking you're smelling menthol or mint.
