Thanks for the anecdotes of creepy weird negative things in UT. Hopefully if more people share these it will slow the growth and keep the commies away.
Ok, I’ll try not to sound too positive when I tell you how much we loved it when we lived there for 2 years 1979-81.
The only reason we left is husband was retiring from the AF and we wanted to come back to our home state to be near family.
We lived in Ogden, our sons went to good schools and I attended Weber State.
Everyone was very friendly, especially the Mormon folks.
We were invited to quite a few LDS events which we enjoyed and felt quite at home in spite of being conservative Baptists.
The only problem, if you could call it that, was when it was time to leave.
Our son had just graduated high school there and had a lovely girlfriend who had very nice parents.
They came over one day, very well dressed while I was working in the yard and asked if we wouldn’t like to leave our son there and they would put him through college.
My husband was TDY at the time so it was up to me to tell them, thank you but NO.
Nothing but fond memories of Utah!
