Herb, I'm in the same situation as you, good possibility of relocating to SLC in the next 6 months. I've been to SLC before, but only as a means of skiing in Park City or at Alta & Snowbird.
As a single, white, all-American red blooded male in their mid-20's I wonder if this is a good place to stay awhile or not. I've lived my life in Detroit and in Philly for a while. The ability to do a lot of outdoor activities is very appealing. I'm concerned about the over-influence of the LDS in the community though. Is it easy to meet normal women out there? It there good nightlife?
Any info would be appreciated, thanks.
