The downtown is cute and fun to visit. Besides "Historic 25th Street"(where some scenes of the show Yellowstone were filmed) and the two or three blocks surrounding it, the city is not walkable. There's a lot of fun things to see throughout the year like the Ogden Twilight Concert set in summer, and the Farmers market. Or around Christmas time the city and a bunch of companies put up a 'Christmas Village' which is super fun for kids. On the other side of things, there are a lot of outspoken righ

Where would this be because after 2 years there, I was craving art and culture. Like, my experience is the polar opposite so unless art includes street statues that happen a month of each year and if by culture meaning you run into a single black guy on the street, I don't get it. It's really white, very few Hispanics, almost no blacks and few Asians. No museums (outside of historical ones). Most of the Mormons live in Provo if that

Pro: Practically all places in Provo and Orem have fiber optic internet available. Pro/Con: It's also home to two different 4-year Universities. Con: The city of Provo is so Mormon that they even have billboards that don't make sense if you aren't familiar with their culture, and if you are it's still cringe.

It has accessibility to lots of great outdoor adventures including hiking, biking, rafting/kayaking, hotsprings, and more. There are four seasons, but none too harsh. There's a cool downtown bar scene. Also, the highest concentration of basque immigrants in the world is in Boise, so there are some interesting cultural elements as well as great basque bars and restaurants. Because it is a smaller city, there are some limitations (not
