The populations of Chicago, SF and Seattle are 2.7 million, 800,000 and 620,000 respectively. Provo's is 115,000 while Orem's is 95,000. It seems weird to compare the shopping and food options of some of the larger cities in the United States with Provo. Size-wise, it makes more sense to compare to something like Boulder.
- Dobbs 13y agoComparing the size of the city doesn't fix the issue that food, shopping and cultural events (art, theater etc) are dismal compared to other cities. The fact that Orem/Provo is better or worse than your average city in the same class doesn't make the food choices any better. Now, since Ann Arbor Michigan which is on par with your listed population size for Provo actually has good food some decent shopping and a fairly large number of cultural events your argument comes up strongly lacking.
