FINDING SALT LAKE CITY
Presented by Eightline Real Estate · Produced and hosted by Kelly Hannah
Think about the difference between price and value, and between a house and a home. This series is about that gap. Each episode visits the local businesses, nonprofits and people shaping Salt Lake City, exploring their perspectives and highlighting the work that makes a home extend past the front door.
Some episodes are produced in partnership with The American Dream Media (ADTV); others I produce independently, right here at home. The idea behind all of them…
“Spend your dollars at places that look like the world you want to live in.”
Price and value, house and home.
Real estate beyond the market charts, through the neighborhoods and local businesses that make a house a home.

Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah’s West Desert · Featuring Allison Volk Dean of Save the Salt · Produced with The American Dream Media (ADTV) · September 2026
At Speed Week 2026, I meet the families who come back to the Bonneville Salt Flats generation after generation, including Allison Volk Dean, chair of Save the Salt, who earned her way into the 200 MPH Club at 236 mph. Racers were among the first to notice the salt growing thinner, and Save the Salt is working to preserve the flats for the next generation.

From First Home to Urban Farm: Orenda Urban Farm and Wasatch Community Gardens
Ballpark Neighborhood, Salt Lake City · Featuring Zach Williams of Orenda Urban Farm and McKayle Law of Wasatch Community Gardens · Produced with The American Dream Media (ADTV) · July 2026
A decade ago I helped Zach and Michelle buy their home in the Ballpark neighborhood. That backyard is where Zach planted his first seeds and started Orenda Urban Farm, which has since grown into a larger plot at the Wasatch Community Gardens farm incubator. McKayle Law introduces FIGS, the incubator where a new generation of local growers is building farm businesses that feed the neighborhoods around them.
