I generally steer clear of broad generalizations, and growing up in rural Idaho, I have only the best things to say about my Latter Day friends. That said, enough people have voiced this sentiment to make me curious enough to ask, and I think it would be silly to ignore such a question when considering moving someplace that will be my forever home.

So, for those who live in the SLC area as non-LDS members, what communities did you or do you currently live in, and what has been your experience? I’m sure Park City residents will have different experiences than, say, Morgan residents, so I’m curious about the whole spectrum. Did your non-LDS status affect the social aspect of your life in any appreciable way, or was it essentially transparent?

For the record, all of my kids will be high school graduates when I make the move.

Respectful replies only, please.
