Salt Lake City: Dale Morgan
built 288 days ago
[T]hrough all of this, Salt Lake has never become a typical American city; it remains unique. The Mormon Church is a dominant force, Mormonism is still its most conspicuous feature, and deep division between Mormons and non-Mormons continues, particularly on the social and cultural levels. There is still much to Nels Anderson's observation in 1927 that Salt Lake is "a city of two selves," a city with a "double personality." As Dale Morgan observed more than forty years ago, Salt Lake is a "a strange town," a place "with an obstinant character all its own." That continues to be true.

SALT LAKE CITY, June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Myriad Genetics, Inc. (Nasdaq: MYGN) today announced that it had commenced an offering of 3,400,000 shares of its common stock. Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated is acting as the underwriter for the offering.

These actions simply accelerated developments of the previous twenty years, and the next two or three decades were a watershed in Salt Lake's history. The balance shifted during those years. By the 1920s, as Dale Morgan says, the city no longer offered the alternative to Babylon it once had, and the modern city had essentially emerged. The process has continued to the present, with Salt Lake City increasingly reflecting national patterns.
