  It was the best of times. Everyone liked Ike, and they loved Mayor Earl J. Glade. Young people drove snazzy cars and wore snazzy clothes. And when Utahns went downtown to shop, eat or go to the movies, they dressed to the nines. Following the Korean War, the decade of the '50's seemed a time of tranquility and joy. It was a time of new prosperity and unprecedented growth around Utah--when malt shops ruled, poodle skirts were in, and Elvis was King. Utah in the 50s: Salt Lake City with Ted Capenertakes a playful jaunt down memory lane, featuring archival photographs, original music and personal anecdotes from the people who know the era best.
