Magna, Utah.
There’s something about this place that has always perplexed me. On one hand it is everything people accuse West Valley City of being. Sure the accusations West Valley faces definitely check out (for crying out loud two or so teens got shot and killed in a Halloween party last week) but Magna takes it to a new level. I remember hearing about a haunting tale about a boy who got shot in the forehead in what many suspected to be a gang related incident. The mother, in her despair, tried to end her own life by running into traffic. God, this makes me wonder what sorts of horrors unfold here on an any ordinary night.
And yet whenever I visit I feel as if everything has clicked back into their rightful place. Anemoia washes over me. I can’t shake the feeling that I, at some point, was supposed to move here and have a full life with a group of family and friends I would find all on my very own right here in this broken town. Maybe I did in some alternate universe, that guy may be cool as shit

it's just utah dude. nothing interesting about it. some of the canyons are cool i guess

My family used to visit Utah all the time and everything had a smug mormon identity. I thought it was just a meme but somehow people still believe some dude found magical gold tablets (they're gone though don't ask to see them) proclaiming him a prophet and that he deserves 80 wives or something. No nightlife because city codes kill it. All the caffeinated drinks were hidden in the back of stores with the alcohol. I was wearing a rock band shirt (think it was one of my dads old pink floyd ones) and had multiple people spout gibberish at me over satan or something. What even is the ideal weeklong Utah trip, utahnons? Need something to do over winter break from uni.

I grew up in west valley. For a brief time had friends that lived in magna and went to Cyprus and sometimes hung out there.
The reputation is that magna is a dump with people who are either hicks or mexicans. There was never anything good to say about it from anyone. It was that everyone knew west valley was pretty shit, but magna was known as shit even to those in west valley.

It's a muttsprawl suburb in a generic muttsprawl metro area, containing the usual Amerimutt mix of successful golems, retarded losers (who never go outside), and mentally ill criminals. I was cooking dinner on a freeway exit ramp in SLC and got pulled over by a literal faggot Utah patrolman with a rainbow flag on his uniform. He was pretty cool. Mormons worship the pursuit of wealth no matter how soulless and impersonal it makes their state. Nevermind the fact that the Bible saying that the love of money is the root of all evil.

In 2023 I ate a bunch of edibles on a train ride from Oakland CA to Denver CO. It felt a little eerie to wake up from a THC stupor in the middle of the night and watch the bright lights and sterile industrial buildings of Utah civilization materialize out of the pitch-black desert. Utah definitely knows how to maintain great railroad tracks. The train does 70+ mph smooth as butter, only adding to the sense of dissociation.

Yeah because they're demons.
