There is no place like... Utah

Only in Utah...
-your ward consists of only 4 streets, and they are considering a split
-Costco is more popular than Disney Land
-no one looks twice when you have two carts full of canned goods and TP
-you hear people talking about the Priesthood, callings, or the BOM while using public transportation
-the guy at the check out counter starts talking politics and assumes you're republican
-there is any kind of "focus group" imaginable... scrapbook, reading, exercise, cooking, stress management, etc.
-case lot sales are advertised on TV and the radio
-general conference is broadcast on regular TV, not just the BYU channel
-once you have a child, the topic turns to when you are having another
-Monday nights are like a ghost town
-work parties make sure to offer apple cider if they have alcohol
-modest prom and wedding dresses are in regular mall stores (like Mervyns, JC Pennys)
-everything has vinyl on it
-it is standard for new homes (well, the nice ones) to have lots of storage places, including a food storage room (usually cemented on 3-4 sides)
-the mini-van is still popular
-a sick general authority gets "breaking news"

I cant think of anything else right now... Utah really is a unique place.
