My kids are grown, so I don't have any issues not being in the "club". It can be challenging for some families depending on where you live, because so many activities and time surround the church you get "left out"
Keep in mind there are some things to get used to regarding alcohol rules and if you want to go shopping on Sundays a lot of / most locally owned businesses are closed. Most all National chain restaurants and stores are open.
Hope this wasn't a APC junk post. Keep in mind your experience in Sugarhouse isn't the same further south in Utah Valley. There are large towns with one bar or none at all. It gets more conservative and "Mormon" the further south you go. Just saying......
Right the night life is obviously not the same out of the city. I lived in South Jordan and Daybreak for a few years. My point was some of this stigma that the Mormons dominate anything outside 15 downtown blocks is really not as accurate anymore and even some of the communities south of 15, like Cottonwoods/Murray/Millcreek are not as Mormon as people make them out to be. You will also pay 700k minimum for any family size home up to 1 million though. So I guess it’s a trade off.
