downtown streets here, normally deserted after 6 p.m.

Man. Well, I wouldn't want to live there apparently, but you guys have fun :)

LOL, the NY Times should have come down to Provo, where I live. The sidewalks roll up at 6 PM and the streets are deserted. I drove downtown last week at about 10:30 PM, and it was deserted. Provo put on Olympics fun, free even, it ended by 10PM every night, and everyone just went home afterwards. SLC to us looks like the big city. :)
