Historic 25th Street

OGDEN — For people who always flip to the end of books and fast-forward to the end of movies, this afternoon is your chance to catch a glimpse of the final scenes of “The Mistle-Tones,” an ABC Family Channel Christmas movie that won’t debut until December.

Some random stuff that piled up while everyone focused on my beard:

• My column about the Newborn Intensive Care Unit and my grandson Max brought this letter from Edythe Kuhn, of Ogden:

"Over 29 years ago, our oldest son was born and spent time in the NICU at McKay-Dee Hospital. The hardest thing I have ever done as a mother was to leave the hospital without the baby I had been expecting for nine months.

OGDEN — The new owner of the Helena Hotel and Keller Building is hopeful a Tuesday court hearing will finally force the structures’ controversial former owner to vacate the premises.

Jared E. Allen said he purchased the buildings at 205 and 207 Historic 25th St. at a foreclosure auction in August. Ever since then, he has attempted to evict Bruce Edwards, the former owner.

OGDEN -- The Health Mart Healthy Living Tour will stop in Ogden from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday to offer free health screenings.

OGDEN -- When the doors open on Thursday to the new MacCool's, Ogdenites will have a place to wash down a plate of corned beef and cabbage with a pint of "Black and Finn."

OGDEN -- After months of lengthy study, the city council unanimously agreed Tuesday night to stretch height limits from 45 feet to 55 feet for new buildings on Historic 25th Street.

The height ordinance amendment requested by the Historic 25th Street Business Association also includes a provision for rooftop additions.
