I'm proud to be a Utahan for many reasons. I'll name two.

(1) Utah is the only place in the nation where Clinton came in third in 1992 -- Bush I carried the state by a landslide, and Perot came in second.

(2) My husband and I have several ancestors who were Utah pioneers. They gave up everything they had, and left green and pleasant places like England, Wales, and South Africa, to come here to the edge of the desert where they could live their religion unmolested. Their memory is a constant reminder of what really matters.

Well done, Mama_Bear! You get a B+ on your report. Would've given you an 'A' except I didn't know what "beeves" were and was forced to look it up. :-)

Sigh.... Born there in 1950. Land before the interstates. Land before the east bench. Park city was a has-been mining town with 1 fire truck. No ski resorts. No Sundance. Lagoon was a fun amusment park. Salt Aire still had a roller rink. The Spudnut shop in Sugarhouse.......Sigh, again..........

Thank you for bringing up happy memories...............

[Utah Girl]

Thanks for the wonderful thread on Utah. I love living in Utah, it is very beautiful here. My ancestors also crossed the plains to live in a stark desert so that they could practice their religion in peace. And they did make the 'desert blossom as a rose.' Thanks again.

Although Brigham may have once said about SLC, "this is the place," (perhaps in a moment of delirium from mountain fever), he went on later to state categorically, "this is really the place." He was referring to his winter home--St. George, UT, and he was, of course, right! He was our first Snowbird and began the wintertime invasions of thousands of ice covered invaders from the frozen north. Please come and bring money!
