People get way too defensive about SLC. It is a beautiful city and there are nice things about living there including the outdoors, safety and lower cost of living. BUT they do have very conservative laws in place, including around alcohol, bars and other entertainment. Additionally, my experience has been Mormon's are nice people, but I have been told anecdotally from a friend that used to live in SLC, it is a bit "cliquey", in the sense that he felt like an outsider because he was not mormon. But he also had no ties to the area which makes that hard anyway.
