Travel Tips for Salt Lake City

Very exclusionary

by sms0919

As a person born and raised in Salt Lake City that was not Mormon or LDS or whatever is appropriate, I disagree with many of the statements above. First, if they know (and as has been stated they have awesome record keeping systems so, they know) you are a non-mormon they will in little ways try to get you to join their church. I was visited more times than I can count by geeky young boys trying to tell me about their scriptures. I was sent invitations to neighborhood parties that stated the location as "the Church House" or "the Stake House" (another name for a LDS church building). No address, no indication of what church house they may be talking about because there is one on every corner like 7-11's. That is purposly exclusionary and pretty much rude. I would have had to go to a neighbor I knew was Mormon and ask them where that was IF I wanted to go to a "neighborhood" party at a church.
If you smoke strangers will openly come up to you and tell you that you should quit or that it is bad for you. They also look at you like you are the worst sinner they have ever seen and you might as well be having sex in the street.
If you visit stay as little time as possible and try to check out Park City. It is not as bad as Salt Lake because many people their are 2nd homeowners and are not really from the state. If you visit DON'T STAY. Believe me you and your children don't want to have to live in a place that I liken to Nazi Germany, without the blood but I swear they wear those garments as a singal to the other Mormons that they are members of the club.

Utah Jazz.

by crazyguitar

I´ve never seen a live NBA match before. If you have the chance go!
That day the match was very bad: Utah Jazz Vs. Boston Celtics. Really that season was not the best for Celtics... Anyway it´s good to go just to see the ambience.

From the Airport

by grandmaR

Hotel shuttles and taxis connect the airport with downtown. I made sure our hotel had a free shuttle as I didn't want to pay for a taxi even though the airport is fairly close to the downtown.

If you don't have too much luggage, UTA buses offer an inexpensive $2 ride from the airport to downtown. But free is better.

Market Street Grill, Diamond...

Market Street Grill, Diamond Lil's, Baci's, Santa Fe, Ruth's Diner
It is past the zoo up Emigration Canyon a short distance and in the warmer seasons you sit outside and they have live music. The menu is very well priced and has something for anyone. You can dress as you wish. Ruth's diners breakfast most excellent

The Mormon Temple

by Confucius

How can you visit Salt Lake City and not see the Mormon Temple? Once you reach the perimeter you'll be greeted by one of the young missionaries who lurk the grounds and will eagerly volunteer to be your guide.
You will see the church with its famous tabernacle choir organ and then be taken to a multilingual religious audio presentation in a separate foyer. I was given the indoctrination in Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and Farsi on request.

No, I don't really speak Farsi but it sure impressed the pretty young lass across the foyer when that was the third language I asked for.

Ah, the Mormon Temple; a wonderful place to pick up languages (and chicks!)
