- Quiet. (Christi, 15 years)
- The people are friendly and have accepted me as one of their own. I’m a transplant from the Little Cottonwood/Sandy area and it’s very easily become HOME ❤ when we first moved here the draw was all the elbow room and green alfalfa fields. More room for growing our own food. Since then too many new houses have gone up and the green fields are shrinking. Now we are considered a city …feeling limited coz people complain about stinky lil farms. If you don’t like farming then WHY did you move here 😕? (Wendie, 25 years or more)
