St. George is a Wonderful Place to Live

If you are a family looking to move to St. George you cannot ask for a better lifestyle for your family. St. George is sunny and sporty, besides being in the most beautiful, colorful country in the nation. I have lived in NYC for 4 years and I wish everyday that I could go back to St. George.
News Flash: Utah is not 100% Mormon. Likewise, Mormons do not only live within Utah state boundaries. Why are they discussed as if they are some exotic ethnic tribe? Suspend your perceptions and assumptions about Utah and Mormons and you will find an incredible place to live with good people.
Didn't the 2002 Winter Olympics teach us anything? There is not a "mystery" to Mormons. You have to understand that devout Mormons are deeply committed to their Christian values. Active Mormons do not drink, smoke, or even cuss. They are family oriented and very hardworking. They are taught to be honest and friendly with everyone. Who would not want this environment for their family? I do not understand why this would not be appealing to people.
If you are not LDS, it is possible you may have very different views on things, but that is ok. All it takes is an open and honest dialog. You can agree to disagree and they will respect your for it. Simply treat them how you want to be treated and you will make many very loyal, lifelong friends.
If your values happen to be the opposite of LDS values, you may want to consider Las Vegas (an hour to the southwest of St. George) as the place for you.
