Well, it makes me crazy at times. I visit NYC once a year and love my visits because of the culture. I am tolerant of their views and how they run their city and live their lives. I don't see why they don't extend the same courtesy to us when they visit Utah. But then, that is what liberals do, squawk and scream if their viewpoints aren't addressed, but tromp all over everyone else's. /rant :)

And those hedonistic pleasures do exist in SLC, the escort services were complaining that business during the Olympics was way below what they were expecting. They actually hired extra limos and bussed in women from Las Vegas, expecting a big response from visitors. Didn't materialize...

I think some visitors to that city might be surprised by the people they see. At the bus stop two blocks from Temple Square, you can see all kinds of kids with purple spiked hair and body piercings. You can buy illegal drugs there and hire a hooker. It's all there.

While it may not have the nightlife of Manhattan or Miami, it's not all mormon missionaries on bicycles, by a long shot.

Anyway, I think the city did a fine job hosting the Olympics, and I hope it doesn't really change the city at all, at least not the way this reporter would hope.
