Possible Job Offer in Utah: Debating a move to Zion

[_lulu]

it is more the gloomy inversions and overcast days that get to you.

I'd say that's the biggest problem. Park City maybe until that valley gets filled up with with winter car exhust too.

Areas to avoid if you want diversity:

The southern half of Salt Lake county
Utah county
Davis county (minus Ogden)

You have Moab just a few hours away. Hell yeah, you should go there!
You also have awesome skiing nearby. Hell yeah!

Isn't there a new shopping centre now as well?

As much as I love Utah, I would hesitate to make this move if I were going to a company filled with LDS employees and I were ex-LDS. From everything I have heard, this can not only be stressful, but it can also really destroy your prospects of advancing in that office. Some LDS folk are so biased against ex-LDS that they will undermine them in whatever way they can. I don't think they can help themselves there. Some of them simply will believe that you are evil.

IMHO, and based on personal experience, why on earth would a person willingly move to hell?

Because it is my heart and soul.

(And I can go to Mass with Maddy sometimes!)

I have hope that LDS culture does not have that much control over us and where we want to live.

But alas... I am not one to talk, having just moved out of Utah.

I have to go. Important things are happening live in Paris right now.

You tease!

I have mellowed-- It would be a nice place to visit sometimes.

Hancock County and the Mississippi are my heart and soul. I understand your feelings.

I've lived outside of Utah for 30 years this year. I've done everything I wanted to do in the "big city." I want a lower cost of living and sky and mountains and desert. I want certain parts of Northern Utah (where the wild horses roam).

I'll live in Salt Lake and I will have plenty of friends who are Mormon, Ex-Mormon and Non-Mormon.

I can drive to LA and SF when I want to see some art (and also visit all the many friends I have in those places).

I will be closer to my brother in Seattle and can visit him and his cool family and all my Pacific Northwest friends.

I will not be able to avoid downtown SLC as I will be doing research in the church archives, but I will avert my gaze from The Crime Scene and never enter there. I will also try to avoid The Gateway to Hell, but unless another Mac store opens up (or has already), I suppose I'll have to hold my nose and visit that Consumer's Paradise.

I will bathe in the briney waters of the lake and contentedly grow older in the Shadow of the Everlasting Hills.
