The Angels Would Be Ashamed!

Welcome to Salt Lake City, Utah!

"Joking, nonsense, swearing, small-talk and

laughter do not belong to us. The angels

would be ashamed!" - Brigham Young

Welcome one and all to the bear mountain picnic of Salt Lake City. The city was founded in 1847, by the brave and serious Brigham Young, who fled growing hostility toward the Mormon church and led his people to the snowy promise land. Today roughly a million people occupy Salt Lake City, and the high percentage of Mormons are accompanied by large populations of Samoans, Hispanics, and Gays. Perhaps you've seen a Mormon church? They're hard to miss. check it out.

As far as i'm concerned, i'm all for it. What adds character to a city like the architecture of its religious shrines? Isn't that what's so great about Europe? Or is it the boats and painting and bread and women? I think its half half. I have had the pleasure of passing through Salt Lake City only once in my life, and i was in a hell of a hurry to get from San Francisco to Denver. I ate a sandwich at Arbies and had a pee. Wish i could say more. At work last night, i talked to a kid who had lived in S.L.C. He said that every Mormon family owned a trampoline, and that sounds mighty fine too.
