I dont know about you, but I like to do more with my evenings than cruise Harrison blvd. And, there is not a good spot to eat anywhere in town.

Bullshit. There are two within one block on 25th st., and two sushi places in town that I would recommend.

I wouldnt know about the sushi. I cant comment.

25th on the other hand, there is nothing special. Given, I have had a few good meals, there are places I would and will go back to, but nothing really unique. Having only two decent options in a city the size of ogden was kind of a let down for me when I was there.

I'm guessing it's all about location, given that Ogden is mostly a frigging dump to actually live in?

What's decent? What are you looking for in a dining experience? Food quality or taste more important? Ambiance? Expensive so it must be good?

Beto's not cutting it? :wink:

Jasoh is supposed to be good. Javier's is good. Timbermine is nice.

I'll go with money. It's not like there's no bigass white mountain you can see in PDX.

From Oregon:

Quote:

Amer representatives told the agency that its package of $3.3 million worth of loans, grants and tax credits was tempting, but that the mountainous setting of Ogden was in keeping with the company's image.

From Utah/Ogden:

Quote:

The company will receive a $7.9 million incentive package from the state, while Ogden has added nearly $4.2 million. It also will receive a tax rebate of up to $5.43 million over 10 years.

Mt. Hood is what, an hour away? For sub-par terrain and snow.

Within an hour of Ogden you have Powder Mountain, Snowbasin, Alta, Snowbird, Solitude, and Brighton. I'd say that could be a factor.

it's not like mt. hood is open most years every month for lift served. Or there are 5 ski 'hills' there to dick swing. Or ocean surfing ~hour the other way, and kite surfing, and other sports they've interest in, blah, blah, clearly it pales in comparison to Utah <shrugs>

$12million + $5.5 million potential >>> $3 million. Oregon sucks harder than a pornstar at attracting and keeping high earning jobs.
