Post Malone once called it a "dope venue" that "kinda stinks."

In honor of spring break (at least for some of the school districts in the state), here's something lighthearted:
The Utah Division of State History has collected historic items from Saltair called "An Enchanted Place: Saltair, 1893-1925." You can see lithographic postcards, pictures of bathers and hundreds of people dancing in the ballroom in 1914, plus more.
Check it out here.
And here's a fun TV story about Saltair from KSL-TV: The Rise and fall of the Great Saltair: The search for Utah’s lost world class lakefront resort.
According to Friends of Great Salt Lake, Post Malone once had this to say about Saltair in explaining how he ended up moving to Utah: “I did a show in this dope venue next to the Salt Lake and the salt flats in Utah, and I said, you know what, it kinda stinks out here, but this is so beautiful, this is so awesome, and at that time I was already sick of LA ... I kinda just wanted to get away where I can have my own oasis.”
