What people are saying about Ogden | |
Ogden, Utah | |
I lived in Utah for 48 years, 36 years of them in Ogden. The outdoor activities are great - you are close to the trails and lakes, but you can't spend ALL your time there. The town shuts down on Sundays due to the Mormon culture, and you may not ever feel welcome if you aren't Mormon. I never did, and the best thing I ever did was leave! For culture, a lot of the residents go to Salt Lake City because Ogden has always struggled in that regard. The growth of the entire wasatch front is phenomenal (again because of the Mormon culture), and if you aren't up for living in a huge city (LA-ish) in the not-too-distant future, don't even look there. | |
