Maybe its the fact that you don't understand that he understands that you understand he is from a small town

Richmond's getting too big nowadays (might sound funny but I swear it's true!) and all the small businesses are closing down because of that fuster cluck they call Logan.
I can't stand Logan... How someone can feel "at home" in SLC, Provo, Orem, ect. I'll never know

Don't worry, the valley can't support many more people due to their ridiculous transportation system.
I left Smithfield about 13 years ago but can't even make a living if I could find a job up there, nowadays. I've tried to move back for years now, but really don't know if I could stand some of the issues. I've changed, the valley has changed and I'm fairly happy where I am now. If I could move back to a 70's or 80's version of Cache Valley, I'd figure out a way to move back.

Its a sad day when I hear that little old Richmond is getting too big. Thats somewhere that I could really enjoy living. Being from SLC, Richmond would seem small, but its all relative I guess. I believe that if all the Californians that wanted a small town atmosphere would move back home, our expanding small towns would not be so big. But I cant blame ANYONE for wanting to leave places like Los Angeles. Also, they can take back home with them their gun grabbing, tree hugging liberal attitudes.

Amen to that! I love our little corner of the world where no one locks their doors, the keys are left in the backhoe at our yard, and everyone knows that if our door happens to be locked due to a trip, just go in through the garage!

Their finding ways, and traffic continues to be a nightmare
Richmond has 4 new subdivisions alone, and their still clearing land for new ones. We don't have the water, but still continue to build, and built, and....And I remeber when Logan tire was the end of town on 14th North! Miss those days
Couldn't agree more

My parents have Logan city within a block of their place. I went to logan a couple weeks back and thought I would drop by Al's I almost missed it because I was thinking it was out from town. (Town goes all the way to Smithfield now)

The first thing I noticed when moving here was the unbelievably HUGE familes and thought, all those babies have to grow up and move somewhere. Hopefully, not next to me I already have to do the Salt Lake Slalom down my street dodging kids pulling a gooseneck.

The kids in my neighborhood don't pull goosenecks, luckily. My streets are narrow enough as it is without those kinds of hazards.
Isn't English fun

When I was a kid in Butlerville (now Cottonwood Heights) we were way out of town. You could stand behind the elementary school and see downtown way off to the north. The tallest building was the Walker center. Now I live downtown and am always looking to move out of northern Utah.

I totally agree. When I saw that SLC, Ogden and Provo were being referred to as "big city," I started laughing.
As you mentioned, there are more people in the DFW metroplex than the entire state of Utah, so coming here was a major decrease in market size.
Relative to what I'm used to, SLC is big. It's definitely not a big city in comparison to others out there. I'm thankful that I don't live in LA or some sh_t hole of a city like that.
