Cache Valley

March 30th, 2008 by Justin Ball

The Desert News is saying what we already know. Cache Valley is a great place to live. Of course the numbers don't tell the actual story. This is a great place to live because it has a small town feel, the biking is awesome and people are friendly. The schools are great and you feel safe. The biggest drawback to living in Cache Valley is the low wages. For many jobs the university tends to pay very poorly and economic development around here so far has meant adding a Home Depot and second Walmart. Hopefully we start to see the kind of economic development that is sustainable and that provides good, well paying jobs.

    Cache Valley is the coldest place on earth. I would consider that a drawback. Seems like a nice place besides that.

    I grew up in Southeast Idaho. Cache Valley is tropical in comparison.

    In truth you are right. It is cold. I hate cold, but I hate the inversions even more. January and February are the hardest months. However, now that it is getting warm again I can’t imagine a better place to live.
