Are a lot of people narrow minded? I have heard they are very conservative. One issue we are a little worried about it that my husband has half a sleeve done, which isn't visible unless he is without a shirt.Sometimes you can see a little of the work sticking out of his shirt but not normally. He is worried about how people will treat us for it. Would this fall into the narrow minded peoples talk?

She lives up by Tramway and Paseo Del Norte.

As far as the narrow minded people, I don't know how they'll view the tatoo issue. My experiences had nothing to do with the way I looked but more to do with not sharing the same religious/lifestyle views. Most people I know enjoy/love raising a family in Utah county. In fact, I have three siblings still living there raising children and sharing time with their grandchildren. To each their own I guess.

I'm sort of from ABQ too. My mom lives in Gallup and my Dad lived in ABQ by Ladera Golf Course. So I went back and forth a lot all the time. I lived in Utah County, Pleasant Grove and Provo for a few years. Then I moved to Taylorsville and dang what a difference. I prefer the SL Valley any day. Too close minded down in UT Valley. Good luck with your move

We will have to look into it! we started looking into SL valley, seems there are more homes and jobs.
Do you prefer Utah over NM?

For what it's worth, Orem is ranked #20 for the country's safest cities. That's good!!!
