[MOD INPUT]

I've cleaned up a bunch of posts. As someone who has a GF who left the LDS church at 18, I get it. I understand there are potentially some impacts on non-LDS residents, so please share those, but keep direct attacks on the LDS church out of your posts. I'd rather not see this thread closed.

Minnesota enters the chat.

I definitely think SLC is horrible. Mean people, no beer, nothing to do. I highly recommend ATL.

Looking at my 73 bid package for March, I’d say avoid SLC. Trips are like 1/3 redeyes. 🤮

We left the state mainly for that reason. Loved the seasons, the outdoors were superb. Taxes are reasonable. Didn't mind the drive to WY for provisioning. In the end though, yes, it was too much.

To the OP: if I were to do it again I'd pick at the mouth of either big or little Cottonwood canyons. As high up on the benches as I could afford.

My wife is Jewish. We lived in a heavily LDS area in Wyoming, and she couldn't wait to leave. Loved the place/scenery, but basically being frozen out of every social group/thing to do was bizzaro for her.

I was born and raised in the LDS church. Getting displaced to Utah post-merger was a factor in me deciding I didn’t believe it anymore. I raised two kids here and grew up in California. Feel free to PM me for my insights on the area/culture/base or for LDS to normal English translation (some words mean different things in a Mormon context.) having said that, the church stuff drives me nuts, but I still live here and have plenty of options. I must not hate it bad enough to uproot my family and leave.
