My first home in Utah was in Rose Park. It does not deserve a really bad reputation. My home in Phoenix was purchased purposely in rough neighborhood to save some money. At least in Rose Park I knew who my neighbors were. Heck my old neighborhood in south Phoenix had more shootings in one year then all of Utah the year I moved here.
BTW - IM, I hadn't noticed before that you lived in Utah. What part? I am now in the NSL, Centerville, Bountiful area.
Brian,
Normally I would be glad to run you around to our few good shops or take you shooting but I'll be out of town for work next week.
