Well, even Joe Pyrah of the local Provo Daily Herald noted, in highlighting this article that this rating meant that Provo was "less fun than Stockton, California? The most depressed housing market in the country and a city riddled with gang problems? Less fun than Akron, Ohio? Akron, for crying out loud. The "Rubber Capital of the World."

Watch how you talk about the Streets of Bakersfield, there, pardner.

How much fun can you have in a city without at least 5 bath houses? /s

I had fun in Provo. Quilting bees, ice cream socials, Complex wide “Family Home Evenings”, BYU Football, Dinners at “Brick Oven” and “Training Table”...
On second thought...

I drive through Utah at least four times a year. There is a sign that reads “what happens in Utah you can tell your friends about”. I always think to my self, “ya, but why?”

Yeah, Provo hasn't been the same fun town since Marie Osmond moved away to Las Vegas two years ago.

Hah! Kern County (Bakersfield that is) was the scene of my brief career as a law enforcement officer in the late 70s. It was quite an education for a recent immigrant from the north of England.
At the time, it was a center of the drug culture, the nascent “gay cowboy” culture, illegal gambling, and of drunk and reckless driving.
The authors of this article would undoubtedly have had a great time there.

Least fun? Try being trapped in Santa Fe on election night to find out where the least fun city in America is.

I think it’s fun to sit on the edge of University Ave and count license plates. I just get a kick out of that. Also, what you do is wave to all the minorities that pass every day or so. No racism in Provo, that’s for sure.

Depends on your definition of fun.
At one time in my life, fun was getting drunk and getting laid. Then I grew up.
Now fun is gardening, family visits, nice neighbors, peace and quiet and walking out to the car which you forgot to lock the night before and finding everything as you left it.
If Provo was such a terrible place to live, I would venture that you would have more people moving out than moving in, sort of like really fun cities such as Detroit.

Spent our wedding night there in 1970 enroute to a honeymoon hunting trip. No booze, no food and got overcharged by the Mariott hotel. If it were not for my wife, the night would have been a real bust.

If you really, really, really, smooth talk a college girl there you might get her to be willing to lose her ecclesiastical endorsement over a cup of coffee.
To: Utah Binger
You know, I was thinking. I have NEVER gone to Provo to have fun and I live 40 miles from there. Just not a place to go for ‘fun.’

Hey - I’m FROM Akron...I resemble that remark!
There are plenty of fun things in Akron to do. Like, go up to Cleveland.
