Guile

Lies:

"Utah? You all have ten wives and it's impossible to get a drink there, right?"

The two most popular myths about Utah, most likely perpetuated by smug jerks from Colorado ("Ooh, look at us! We have microbreweries everywhere and the Red Rocks Amphitheatre! We're so great blah blah blah!")

Truth is it's not that hard to get a drink, and we certainly don't have ten wives. In fact I don't think I even know ten girls.

There is one common legend about Utah that actually is true: it's nigh-impossible to get a flattop. Flattops are the most tightly regulated hair-style in the state, and getting one usually isn't worth the hassle.

Luckily every once in awhile you stumble upon a place like this.

  3. I've been wanting to get a flat top. I had to settle for keeping my long hair and getting it colored.
