Uniquely Utah: A town stuck in time 

Great story. My husband loves that old guy at The Gift House, he used to stop every day on his way to the train station. And people who think Ogden is so dangerous really needs to come hang out for a while. I live in what I considered the “ghetto” but it was a house we could afford with a big yard. I love it here, I love my neighbors, it’s super quiet at night. I have never locked my car or my back door. And as a middle aged white lady I would walk around my block at night anytime without fear. I’ve been in bad neighborhoods in Naples and NYC and Ogden is a walk in the park. Literally, the river walk through town is gorgeous.

Grown up there my whole life. It has completely revitalized in the last 15 years. I love my town.

My Great Uncle owned The American Eagle Cafe at 252 25th Street. It used to be opened 24/7 to serve Meals to the Railroad Passengers. I grew up there in the 60’s- 70’s talking to Gypsy’s the ran a Fortune Telling Business, and heard stories from the Alcoholics in the back alley, That Was Known as Electric Alley!

I love Ogden, it gets hate. Yet I still love this city. I prolly always will.

Love Ogden. ❤️

My hometown!

My hometown, my dad's hometown, my grandfather's hometown, and my great grandfather settled their way back

I love utah ogden❤❤❤

Dang it! I've been telling the Al Capone story for years!

We hold a dance at the Union Station every Wednesday and everyone loves it!

Very fascinating

What a great little place

Imagine how Ogden would be if a Mall would not have replaced all the retail stores on Washington Blvd. Here in Ogden use to call the 25th red light district Live in Ogden all my life and grandpa was a bootlegger

I so miss O town!

This is a great story. So true about the alcohol being easier to get then as opposed to now. That bar looks really cool. i'll have to check it out sometime

I grew up there. I have a very love/hate relationship with that place That said, Ogden Tigers Rule!

I have worked on 25th st for 24 years, upstairs in one of the old brothels. It is quite amazing and I have watched it change over the years. Pretty sure we have a resident ghost lady lol!

Too many people moving to Ogden

I may not have been born here but Ogden is my town. Lived here my whole life 😁.

People will feel secure if we tell them to feel secure... right?... right?

I lived on 26th Street all by myself for a year 😮 without knowing anything. 😱

Too bad Ogden City is ruining 25th Street and Union Station.

Study the history of Helper, Utah. There are tunnels beneath the city.

Maybe there's a small part of Ogden that I can see people avoiding, but the rest of the area is fine. I honestly think people exaggerate and need to leave the state of UT to realize how wrong they are about it. I'm glad that the state of UT is growing as it's bringing lots of much needed changes. :) I'm not originally from here though, so I know plenty of UT born folk disagree. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Also, something I don't understand, why some people in the comment section saying Ogden is dangerous or getting hate??

can you believe it? they didn't mention Coffee Links :(.

Wow that's a lot to do 25

Still wild fun nights 😂

So many ghosts in that freakin town

Ogden 25

25th

Deanie Wimmer said it's because of the sharks machines that this so-called town is stuck in time.. yikes!!!

Yea, sure there's No Tunnels...

Utah = corona mormoner towns🤠🤠🤠

I’ve lived in Utah, my whole life and the only place in Utah. I would consider dangerous is Ogden. It is the one city in Utah. I would avoid at all costs.
