Did the previous reviewer say world class art and culture? 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 matters. There weren't really any sketchy areas I've encountered in SLC.SLC is a good city to visit especially if you're skiing. If you're not skiing, I don't know what else you can do. I found the city to be quite boring. The national parks in eastern and southern UT are gorgeous but we're talking 4-8 hour drive away. Skiing is great. I personally like Park City but it's boring there too. Dating sucks all around. Between recovering Mormons to Mormons, there aren't a lot in between even if the city attracts non-mormons to work there. And if you're not white, it'll be a struggle in the dating scene. SLC nightlife is dominated mainly by college kids. There's only 3 places that I'd consider hanging at as a 30's and up nomad and they're not very close to each other. It's a walkable city although things are a bit spread apart. The new SLC airport did not consider those who fly on airlines other than Delta. It's a 20 minute walk to get from check in to the furthest gate in terminal B. Imagine old folks and handicap. Crazy.

Reviews of Salt Lake City - Feedback from travelers

Salt Lake is a great place to be: Tons of things to do, world class art and culture, some of the best snow in America, friendly polite people. However, the metrics score/ review is inaccurate, during the winter, Salt Lake has some of the worst air quality in the country. It's called inversion, look it up. Somehow being surrounded by coal power plants and oil refineries, while being horizonally sandwiched between two east-west mountain ranges, at high altitude, and two major north south, east west freeways, creates third world level pollution.
