I don't know what it's like to be afraid to go out - 7/3/2012
I can honestly say that there aren't any bad neighborhoods here. I frequently walk to work before sunrise or after sunset, and no one has ever bothered me in the least.

Layton- Close to Everything, Literally! - 10/6/2009

We are close to all kinds of shopping, Hill AFB, Ogden (which is a really great, cultural place to hang out), Salt Lake City with all it's amenities, many outdoor recreational activities, the Wasatch mountain front, and lots of famous ski resorts.
