SLC 411

[AvlNC]

i might be moving to SLC in the next month (50/50 chance at this point). i've only ridden through on the way south. don't know the city at all. how about some scoop on neighborhood/areas to check for housing, etc. want to be close to stuff if i am going to live in the frickin city (coffee, beer--well as close as utah gets, canyons, climbing, trails, places to take the dog, etc) . also got a huge crush on brittany griffith so like if you know where she lives and i could be her neighbor, well that wouldn't suck.

thanks ahead of time for the suggestions

Send me a note - I am PNW transplant, been here 20 years now. Lots of good stuff here - and some BS that is best ignored which is not much different than any other place all depends on the flavor of koolaid you like to drink.

I lived in Sugarhouse until 2005 and thought it was OK. It's probably the best area as far as vicinity to the stuff you are looking for goes. You could probably find some cheap housing close to the University of Utah as well.

 

The Front is a bouldering gym not far from Sugarhouse where you could easily hook up with climbers. It's a pretty friendly bunch. The other gym is Rockreation, which is down by Black Diamond. A bit of an older crowd and a little more elitist (by some accounts).

 

I never met Brittany, but some of the Blurr-Team babes climb at the Front. B-Team

 

If you are into bouldering, it's year round in Utah. Try to get out to Ibex if the temps are good. If you want to ice climb, here's a link to the conditions: Utah Ice Conditions

 

Did I mention that it was 25 minutes from my doorstep to the lift line at Alta? Don't forget the skis.

 

If you are a brewmeister, be sure to stop by the Beer Nut. Despite the access to the outdoors, I still found their slogan appropriate: Helping you survive Utah!

 

One other thing, if the inversion is in full gear, be sure to bring a gas mask.

 

On a light day...

 

On a day when kids aren't allowed to go out for recess...

The neighborhood went to shit now that I'm here.

The neighborhood went to shit now that I'm here.

So is that because Brittany Griffith moved away from the neighborhood? Check out this page:Brittney Griffith Contact Page

 

yes, I realize the spelling is different; however, I googled her name wrong and it gave both spellings aswell as this above link.

Sucks that I am so bored to have typed all this...guess its time to go home.
