Olympic sound-off question

What experiences have you had, good or bad, with visitors here?

Jesse Kolstad, 17

Salt Lake City

"We get a lot of people who say they can tell a Utahn because they're rude. They say they just don't get a warm feeling from people as they pass."

Rachel Franks, 13

Salt Lake City

"I think it's been awesome. The diversity is great. It's awesome to see people speaking the different languages."

Laura Schroeder

Sandy

"Everyone's been friendly. When we're asking where to get stuff, people in line will tell you."

David Zaragoza

"They're very friendly; South Koreans, Australians, you name it. To them it's a great experience being here."

Grant Radmall

Bountiful

"Visitors say they'll return. They've been very positive and are always willing to talk."

Shauna Marsden

"I've enjoyed them all. There's a lot of unity there, I think."
