Ogden Named One Of Top Ten Best Neighborhoods In America

Men's Journal just named the city one of the ten best neighborhoods in America. The recent issue of Men's Journal cites Ogden's downtown revitalization with nearby outdoor recreation activities among their criteria for the recognition. Other cities that made the list include the Dogpatch, San Francisco area, Boise's north end, Reno, Portland and Anchorage.

I can't argue with what makes a town a man's town. Any list that includes Reno is discredited in my mind.

Not only is the media hopelessly liberal, apparently they are all doing drugs and doing a lot of them.

Ogden? Downtown Ogden? What are these people smoking?

Ogden is the only temple I've been to where I was glad that they had security on site.

I actually had to go to court for the first time in Ogden a couple months ago and was pleasantly surprised by the downtown area. Of course that may tip my hand as to what a dump I thought it would be in my mind.

I almost never go to a night time session ( after 6:00 ) there, I try and go to a daytime session When they were redoing the parking, they had us parking across the street and I was alway kind of worried if my car would be there when we came out.

I'm with fusnik on this one--Ogden gets a bad rap. It is a pretty nice little city, and the downtown renovations which have been implemented over the last decade have gone a long ways in redeeming it. Unfortunately, it seems the stigma will remain no matter what changes are made.

But for the winters, I would have no problem moving to Odgen. However, I don't do snow.

That's ridiculous. I lived in Ogden for three years while I finished my undergrad at Weber State (Great! Great! Great!), and never once had any cause to feel unsafe or threatened. That includes numerous 7:00pm sessions at the Odgen Cupcake.

South Ogden is nice.

The rest of the city is one big shithole.

But not too far south I hope. Then you get into the area where all the trees lean to the west.

I went to see Sinbad at the Ogden Wiseguys a couple of weeks ago and was really surprised at the urban renewal. The downtown area is actually kind of cool. There are quite a few cool buildings there.

After visiting my grandma in South Ogden on Saturday, Mrs. Donut and I took a detour and went downtown for some Farr's ice cream. The downtown renovation continues to amaze, and Ogden is quickly turning into the hippest little city in northern Utah. Utah County peeps won't admit it, but the urban vibe in downtown Ogden is much cooler than anything you'll find in Provorem.

How did this part of the post get missed for 3 whole months!?

You need to go visit the Mesa temple. I could just see the neighborhoods' residents licking their chops as all the temple attendees had to park their cars on the street due to the insufficient temple grounds' parking.
