I know about events, town hall meetings, and anything else that might interest me. Everything that has happened has always seemed reasonable and fair. I've never had any issues with the service or price for the water, sewage, and garbage services that we receive through them. Literally my only complaint is that I wish they'd warn me that I can't drive out of my neighborhood during the South Ogden City Days Parade. One year I learned that lesson the hard way when I got trapped in. I had to call my sister to pick me up at an area that I could walk to! True story!! But if that's the only bad thing I have to say, I'm feeling pretty good about it.

But as is the case here on Yelp, it's become a review site for the city itself. So where do I begin? Sandy is the little kit who grew up and went away to college. I remember as a kid, the Salt Lake valley sort of ended at 10600 South and Sandy was about as far as you went unless you went out to the farm town of Draper. When they built South Towne Mall we all thought they were nuts for putting a mall on the outskirts of society and in a small town like Sandy. I lived in Sandy for many years, so the love goes back. But sometime around the end of the last millenium, things starting picking up for my old hometown and they started to get some size. The buildings got taller, the politics got a lot more shrewd, the developers starting putting in track housing and strip malls, and suddenly you have a big city on the south end of the valley, only now it's not so frontiersy. I like old Sandy (around 8600 S and just east of State Street) but it's been neglected for a while. New Sandy has a lot less character but a lot more people and let's be honest, it's a heck of a place to raise a kid and own a house. The old strip malls have been slowly inhabited by businesses with a little more flair and it's coming into its own. It's a big city--I lived on the east side, and had lots of parks at my fingertips. You have the busy commercial sectors around 9000 S and especially 10600 S, so everything you need is pretty close by. I don't love the breakneck development (we missed a real opportunity to make Quarry Bend something besides a giant shopping complex) but so far it's held up pretty well. All in all, it was and still is a great place to grow up and it seems to have grown up pretty well itself. Hopefully it continues to grow and diversify.

My son asked me if we could have one of those in our house. Scoff. No. I've been here only a couple of times-both related to passports, and found the experiences to be extremely pleasant. The staff is friendly and the process is efficient-book an appointment online, bring the necessary documentation that they remind you about in your confirmation email, and you'll be in and out in less than ten minutes. No cap. Across the parking lot is a big, beautiful park with a splash pad. I love seeing all the families here enjoying the outdoors. Herriman has done a great job of providing very nice facilities for it's residents. Hopefully they don't mind neighboring city's residents joining in on the fun....

All of the levels and common areas had an abundance of space and tall ceilings! The stairs and elevators were close together and easy to navigate. The Children's Library on the downstairs level was adorable! It brandished childrens' artwork, play tables and many other fun ideas. We ventured through each level and then made our way to the rooftop which had a lot of seating and spectacular views of downtown SLC and its surroundings. The weather was perfect to stay up there and chat for an hour. We also visited the Library Bees- we didn't expect to find Langstroth hives inside a library. This is the coolest library I've been to in the US. If you love books and libraries this is a can't miss experience.

The library has different floors, beautiful art work, live working bee area, stores, food and a sunny rooftop! I visited during the summer months, so the views- mountains were unbelievable. I highly recommend a visit to all!

I open the door and I am met with a wonderful, welcoming smile. Wrong location? Nope. No appointment and no worry. The government " greeter " working happily with no paycheck started this surprisingly positive experience. Two pretty stale security people were tough to break smile even with a thank. The modern waiting area was almost empty so a no appointment connect was easy thanks to the smiling welcome/greeter. 15 minutes and on my way to an almost pristine interview booth. Another smile and a beautiful Halloween attired SS staff member politely greeted me. Maybe 7 or 8 minutes later... done...factually verified and on my way. What a positive...satisfying...experience.

My recent visit to the local Social Security office wasn't as bad as I had feared it would be, nor…read morewas it a pleasure. Conveniently located in the heart of Salt Lake City, across from City Hall, the SS office is located on an upper floor of the large 80s style office building. A security checkpoint is located at the fifth floor office lobby's entrance and after being screened by security upon entering, one is directed to a kiosk where you are prompted to enter which department you need to deal with for your particular need. Once your data entered, a printed ticket is issued. Then, the wait begins, as you scan the digital monitors on the front wall over and over in hope that your number will be posted. Patience is required as it takes quite a while to get called to one of the windows behind which the human SS agents are located. My wait to be for my number to come up took about 1 1/2 hours, in a room that seemed to be about 1/3 full. The time it takes to be called is the real downside of visiting this office. Finally, when I approached the window of the agent who was to assist me, trying to create a human touch to our interaction, I commented about the nice view from her desk area. She agreed, took my paperwork and efficiently copied and entered the information as required. Her efficiency was commendable. I'm sure this is a thankless work environment and many situations are fraught with personal, life impacting issues that aren't easily solved. Luckily for me, everything in my case was straight forward and easily dealt with. After just a few minutes, my tenure in bureaucratic hell was over and I was happily on my way back to reality. Five stars for my agent's help, 1 star for having to wait in the queue for nearly two hours.
