"I've never seen, but a friend told me" urban legend alert. There are billboards with "racy" photos on them for lingerie stores like the Blue Boutique.

I personally would rather not have to explain such billboards to my kids, but conversly anecdotes such as the above are not accurate either.

This pretty much sums it up. I don't get threads like this - no one is claiming SLC is a hot spot for night life. It's a decent sized city with a good economy that happens to have great proximity to some of the best outdoor rec. and scenic beauty in the country. If that's not your thing, why would you even consider it?

Actually, there was a big to-do about a picture of one of the U of U gymnasts. I am not sure if it was a billboard or a picture of her in the Trib (or both??) but I am a huge Red Rocks fan and I do remember a big hullaballo.

Excuse me, you don't want to explain such billboards to your children of a gymnast? A gymnast wearing a leotard. Wow RACY!!!! Maybe SLC is beautiful, nice outdoors. I have a live let live philosophy. I am a mother as well, would never want to expose my children to such right winged opionions. That is why maybe my children tell me everything, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I'd rather explain everything to them. Even heaven for bid a LEOTARD.

what coolcats said was...

"right wing" does not automatically equal super-morality...just as "left wing" does not automatically equal super-immorality.
As a parent myself, I will say this...caring about "morality" in relation to our kids is an across-the-board important issue, regardless of various political leanings.

[ShouldIMoveOrStayPut...?]

Searching out certain SLC neighborhoods via computer it seems some of the Architecture is caught in a late 50's early 60's modern time warp complete with swag and pole lamps, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, wrought iron stair railings, etc...

I am assuming this was an accelerated development time period for the city, but what this may add to bore-ability the spectacular setting more than compensates, when I was out on a ski vacation I thought Alta, Snowbird, Brighton and Solitude (in particular Honeycomb Canyon) where heaven on earth....

ROFL....Oh my god....my god
.....Cant stop LMAO....breathe....okay

This is the kind of thing...well we know where this is going.
There was this huge uproar not too long ago as well concerning a DUI billboard calling people that drink and drive Utards. Heaven forbid you insult a few drunks by including the word tard in it. [I guess handicap protesters started the uproar].
And then theres that no selling hard liquor in grocery stores law. All for the children.
It is my understanding that wine coolers such as Mikes Hard Lemonade are going to be banned from grocery stores as well, and can only be sold in liquor stores too. All for the children as well.

Children grow up sometime. You cant shelter them forever in a naive existence.

LMAO, a leotard! I agree.

I suggest both of you learn to read a post completely before shooting off with incorrect conclusions about what the post says.

Well either the remark was about the blue boutique, or about the blue boutique and the gymnast billboard. That is how I understood it. Which is what I replied to.

Either that or you missed a [,] somewhere, or you have a weird sense of exaggeration, or I'm having a bad couple of days.

Please elaborate
