hmmmmm - 9/6/2007
i live in salt lake city, utah. and i must say that i do not like it. the culture of mormonism is very, what shall we say, constrictive? if you are single and don't want to be married and don't want to have any kids, then this place will shut you out, and i am serious. there is no night life, and if you are "different" well, expect to be alone most of the time. it is almost impossible to be accepted here if you are not a mormon. finding friends that are open-minded is extremely difficult at best. if you are a loner and want to be that way, perfect. i can't wait until i am able to leave this place

Living in Utah and its culture - 8/11/2007
If you're planning on living in Utah, you must understand these things:
In Utah, there is no seperation of Church and State...as a matter of fact, there's no seperation of Church and Anything. If you are fully integrated into the Mormon grid, you will be fine. If you're not a Mormon, your children will suffer and you will eventually learn that every aspect of your life will be affected in a negative way by the Mormons.
Drinking liquor or caffeine is demonized, and smoking is not even allowed in public parks.
Their lives are devoted to proving that each is a better Mormon than the next and it is assumed that non-Mormons are nothing.
They have been told by their leadership that they should associated with non-Mormons. But, why should that even come up?

Lots to do. Not really many to do it with. - 2/27/2007
We moved here from CA last year. Views- A+ Recreation-B+ unfortunately every person we've run into, even friends from the past, is too comfortable in their own routines that nobody really commits to going out and having fun. Also the political climate is either VERY right wing or VERY left. No down the middles. Oh well.
P.S. Worst drivers in the 30 states Iv'e been
