    I LOVE where I live! The best for me is the location, I can walk everywhere I want to go and even ride the train to work. The only downfall is that I have to drive 45 minutes to work when I drive. However I have no desire to move and plan to live in the area forever.

    Downtown Salt Lake City has a very up-and-coming feel. There are lots of new restaurants, bars, art galleries, and events.
    The public transportation and bike awareness is huge in the city which is nice most of the time. However, it is becoming very anti-car, which can be frustrating. As to the events and opportunities, there are many. There is always an opportunity to help out in the community or to go to a free event, such as concerts and festivals which are really fun.
