Don't believe the hype its actually a pretty nice place to live. I don't live in SLC (I'm in the Air Force and live in Roy near Hill Air Force Base.) but I can give you a few pointers. Hastur Hobbies is probably the biggest gamestore in the area and if you go in on the weekends it'll be packed with gamers of various sorts as well. Most of the large, mainstream bookstores will have a limited selection of gaming books as well. There's also Hammond Toys and Hobbies in the Crossroads Mall (across the street from the Mormon Temple), they usually have an eclectic collection of stuff- if you can find the store. It keeps moving around the mall and/or shutting down temporarily. Can't help you with any other kind of store in the SLC area. If you're willing to drive further north to the Layton to Ogden area, I can help more. Endzone Cards and Games is in downtown Layton and the Newgate mall in Riverdale. They have both a decent selection and are good places to find gamers. And I'll second (or is it third?) a recommendation of The Bookshelf in Ogden. There you can find a good selection of gaming products, comics, anime, used cds and games, AND a large collection of used books. Plus you get 10% of your purchase back as store credit for a return visit. And while ordering stuff online is fairly easy, they can also do special orders of any product type they carry.As for internet, definitely check with comcast to their coverage of your preposed location. While non-broadband internet sucks anyway, it especially sucks in Utah. Before I went with Comcast, my supposed 56K line never got better than 22.4. And finally I would recommend going with a cell phone company you like and not even installing a land phone line if you can avoid it, because Qwest is evil!</blockquote>
