I really love living there but man, I really miss living right in the city. Everything is right there...anything. The restaurants, museums and on and on.
If I go to a Knicks (the NBA joke but they were great when I was living in the city) or Yankees or whatever games, it is a drive. It is not like getting on the subway and being there in 10 minutes. As a side note...light rail is one of the best things that SLC has done. Real connection of distances that are tedious to drive.
I miss living in an urban core. Of course that is just how I feel.

I am about to feel similar pain NYC Rick. While attending Grad school I have lived in an old office building converted to apartments right in downtown Cleveland. Everything is within walking distance, or in bad weather,(which happend alot
) a really quick complimentary trolley ride. School, (across the street) Theater District (2 blocks), NBA, MLB, NFL, AFL, Hockey, dining, clubs, and don't forget all the quick eating options. Just last night I walked to Playhouse Square and got take out Chinese food. My initial move back to SLC is to a house on a frontage road in Draper. Talk about going from completly walkable or transit oriented to absolutley no walkability.
Hopefully I'll back near Liberty Park very soon.
