Possible move to Salt Lake City, UT

[Vettster]

I used to live in Evanston, Wy. and we trekked over to SLC a bunch.
It has to be the easiest place to get around in. all the streets run parallel, and the avenues also. (no, not to each other )
The people are friendly.
And, should you decide to "sin" you are only a few hours away from Wendover, Nv.
And the Bonneville Salt Flats.
Lots of great four wheelin!
If I had to go back to living somewhere cold, it would be tops on the list.
The only bad thing that I can think of is they do have state income tax.

Hmmmm.... the dry issue sounds like PA. Only recently were the distributors allowed to be open on Sunday. I just buy a case on Friday

I still do not believe the bars may be open on Sunday.

How are the women "more of a challenge"? If too much of a challenge - Nevada

What would be a good residential community with available real estate, lower cost of living, and a good commute time to SLC?

Also, how far is it into Grand Junction, CO from SLC? I have family in Grand Junction.

Thx,
Chris

look in Bountiful....

You can buy anything from 150K to 1.5M. More large parcels there, minumum 1/4 acre.....


I used to board my Gelding out there, I really liked it.

Is it true you can have as many wives as you want?

Now that I think about it why would that be a good thing.

Sorry, every time I think about divorce court, this seems like lesser and lesser like a good idea.

bountiful is good, or even north SLC, or any of the subarbs before the point of the mountain....Sandy, Murray, South Jordan,.....like someone said before, the roads are on an easy grid system, and it's not too hard to get around. If you want to live in the mountains, you'll have to pay more....some people commute from park city or midway (i think that's what it's called). The housing prices are pretty high. Heber is a small town, but it's closer to Provo than SLC - but the prices are more resonable.

It's one of the few areas where you truly have 4 seasons. The winter is great for skiing - dry, light powder - I remember the last time I skied there, there was 4 feet of light powder... , Summers you have hiking, boating...etc..., Fall and spring are beautiful. The mountains are only a few minutes out of town, and there are a lot of backroads to explore. You can make vegas in about 5 hours from SLC, Denver's not too far away...and Moab is around 2 hours....If you're interested in trying out polygamy, you'd probably want to move to southern utah, near the arizona border...that's where most of them hang out from what I hear.

Lastly.... a lot of beautiful women and a lot of silicon....

It is almost non existent really, but there are some.

I worked a part time job at a bar, kicking out drunks when I first got out of the Marines. There was this good looking cocktail waitress there. She kept introducing me to her "brothers", so I assumed when she had introduced me to about 20 different guys, that she referred to male friends as her brother.

One night after closing, all the employees were sitting around knocking a couple back. The subject came up, and I found out she wasn't kidding. She did have like thirty (no exaggeration) brothers and about 20 sisters.

WHOAH! Big families, eh?

Yeah - while I am not opposed to carrying a hogleg, I'd rather not live in a warzone. In fact, I'd rather be living in a bunker under a nice quiet mountain somewhere.

I'll kee the real estate search to the north and east - keeping an eye on real estate. It doesn't have to be a mountain, but I would like some land....

I used to work in family court. Too many wives is not a good thing. But I don't think too many girlfriends are a bad thang

[SHYANNE]

I would like to live there someday also. I was wandering what big companys are there to work at. Hey NEOCON I noticed you live in moab what kind of work did you find there when you moved there ?

Chris,

Bountiful is nice. Most of the surrounding communities sound like what you're looking for.

I don't know how much money you're looking to spend but try to avoid the West side unless you go South, way South like West or South Jordan or Draper. Still within 30 minutes of downtown from there.

West Valley area, not so much. Not meaning to inadvertently offend anyone, but the man is asking for advice. West Valley is kinda "low rent", with higher crime.

Grand Junction is something like 5 hours.
