(UNEDITED) I have never been ashamed of Ogden. Even when her southern cousin cities blossomed and she dilapidated and tarnished. I have always believed and held fast to the thought that while this was no utopia, we yearned and toiled and strived together to build the most culturally diverse community along the Wasatch. I believed Ogden was a place where we held our liberty above our prosperity; it was a place I was proud to call home. Today however; I am ashamed.
