Brigham Young and his followers fled to the Salt Lake Valley when the territory was still governed by Mexico. By the time they arrived in 1847, Mexico had ceded the area to the United States.
Young set about designing the Temple Square and the Salt Lake Temple almost immediately upon his arrival. Temple Square was designated when the city was surveyed and was surrounded by a 15 foot wall which was built soon after the block was identified. The actual Temple itself took 40 years to complete and is one of the largest tourist attractions in Salt Lake City today.
The city was laid out with straight streets running north-south and east-west. It’s hard to get lost in this straight forward grid pattern. The streets are very bike friendly. There are bike lanes as well as protected bike intersections.
Salt Lake City is bike friendly and family friendly. Crime is low and first-time housing is affordable. The people who live in Salt Lake City are genuinely nice and have been recognized as such in various polls.
The job market is booming and unemployment in the city is below the national average. The best companies to work for in Salt Lake City include Netflix, eBay, Oracle, Adobe and O. C. Tanner. The world’s first KFC store is here and still serving hot and tasty crispy or original recipe fired chicken to patrons.
Given its religious roots it seems odd to say that in addition to the booming job market, Red Rock and Desert Edge produce every kind of beer you might imagine. Take your time and try them all but call to see if they are open if you are planning to go on Sunday. Many local stores and restaurants are closed on Sunday, in keeping with the religious roots on which the city was founded.
