Does Salt Lake City suck?

Nubclear · February 11, 2003, 00:33

Well/!

loinburger · February 11, 2003, 00:40

What prompted this?

And the answer is "yes."

Utah, in its infinite mormon wisdom, is tightening liquor laws (again).

Since SLC is the only city worth living in Utah, I wondered how many people think it sucks.

What are they doing now.

By the way, I gave a conditional no. Compared to the rest of Utah it's decent, but anywhere else, ehhh.

ACK!

You have a point. THe rest of Utah is so barren and boring....But anyway, theyre icnreasing liscense and relicsensing fees (which is going to put many of them out of business. The increase is by one thousand percent). No minors in bars (which will rob them of employees. not absolutely crtiical though). And they can only be open from 7PM-1AM.

Tuberski · February 11, 2003, 00:52

Everybody thought that the Olympics would loosen the state laws some......guess not.

Do they have anybody on the state liquor board that drinks, yet?

ACK!

I had a Mormon friend who vistited there and found it incredibly boring, even for a Mormon.

The whole place is a theocracy in the desert.

The only good thing I heard about is the hiking. The mountains are beautiful.

Not only yes, but hell yes.

Not only is the city bland in every possible way, but the salt lake itself smells horrible and looks dreadful.

Utah is a very beatiful state. I was on vacation there last year.

The outdoors are some of the most beautiful in the country.

But I admit it is very boring there. Bring your own liquour. I hear the beer is watered down as well.

Oerdin · February 11, 2003, 10:39

If you're mormon then Saltlake City is heaven on earth. If your not then it is the anus of the world. Especially if you like beer.

SlowwHand · February 11, 2003, 10:50

Wasn't SLC originally named Hooverville?

rah · February 11, 2003, 11:00

Some great scenery. I'm not a big on skiing, but we played golf on some FANTASTIC courses. But as everyone else mentioned, as a party town, it SUCKS. The clubs aren't that bad, but they're not open enough. We were able to get bottled beer that wasn't 3.2
I can't imagine being black and living there.

The worse thing was that every time I was trying to relax somewhere (outside of the clubs) somebody would come up to me and try to convert me. You'd be sitting by a pool and some good looking woman would come up to you and start chatting. Right about when you thought it was Action Jackson time, the conversation would change to "wouldn't you like to convert to my faith" Quite depressing

On the plus side, my business trips there were to check up on a call center that we used as a back up. The reps were all well educated and reliable. 99% Mormons.

Where's the banana option?

tandeetaylor · February 11, 2003, 12:18

I love Salt Lake and most of the rest of Utah too. You guys are so mean. Why is it OK to put down Mormons, when if you said comparable things about other religions, say, the Jews, it would definitely not be OK?
It's a beautiful area, the people are nice (just pretend that you're already Mormon or something), the street system is organized, and motels are cheap.

Yeah, the scenery can be nice, but it's usually just whatever I'm used to up in the Canadian rockies on a smaller scale.

In the ski villages I have never had trouble getting a pint (or several) of refreshment. There are eight or nine quality ski resorts within a half hour of downtown, and the snow is amazing. Absolutely the most convenient from the airport, cheapest lodging, and best snow in the States. That alone makes SLC not suck. (but it is close)

Oerdin · February 11, 2003, 14:34

The problem is those pints are only half strength.

Sten Sture · February 11, 2003, 14:56

Hence the several.

Then again, if the aim is to get drunk, swilling X pints of beer seems inefficient under normal circumstances.

that's where you tell her you're a mormon minister, and invite her up to your room to discuss theology

I stayed one night in salt lake city - that was enough!

Naw, any chance, however miniscule, that you might end up talking about theology, wouldn't make it worth it. Are they even called ministers? It's the simple things that would trip you up and limp you down.

If I wanted to molest children, I'd become a clergyman in my current faith. It's more tolerant of that type of thing.

I forgot to mention the golfing!!!!!

I have golfed in several different states, and the sheer number of golf courses in Utah is suprising.

If you ever get there to golf again RAH, I highly recommend Mount Ogden golf course. You will of course need a cart, and don't think about looking for lost golf balls.

ACK!

rah · February 11, 2003, 18:27

I've only played there twice and both times we drove up into the mountains. Both course were challenging and the scenery was spectacular. But we were able to find enough booze that I can't remember the name of either course off the top of my head. Doh.
