Is there really more meth in Springville than in, say Kearns?

Today's Kearns really isn't what it was 20 years ago. My bro-in-law who is a Sherrif's deputy says that he was happy to have been transferred from patrolling Kearns graveyard to the W. Jordan and S. Jordan area graveyard shift because there is more activity so he's not as bored.

It is not a great museum.
Also, the "Art City Trolley".....lousy food. Brand X burgers were decent back in the day. I think that place blew up. I also remember eating quite often at a place called Zubs. As for Springville being the meth capital of the US, I wonder what the metric would be? Arrests? Production? Sales? Consumption? Those stats remind me of the mission ones I have heard...."My mission was the #1 baptizing mission in the world," etc...

Based on anecdotal evidence and not data, I think there are rural stretches along I-5 in WA and OR that dwarf anything going on in Utah.
On a state level, I found the following… Quote:

Au contraire, mon ami. To a certain pre-pubescent boy back in the early 70's, it was the greatest museum in the world.

I'm a proud Red Devil and there was a fair amount of weed and alchohol being used in high school but I didn't hear much about meth in the late 80s and early 90s at least.
I guarantee that rural Missouri trumps anything going on in Springville on a per capita basis by a huge margin. |

I would put Pocatello up against anything in Utah. The penalty was pretty light for making meth in the state so people were moving their operations up here. I'm not sure if the Governor felt like he was attracting new business but I guess they have finally got around to going Mcgruff on the deal.
