Thanks for posting those pictures, Reeder

Yeah, thanks for the pictures.

I'm going to be showing friends from NorCal a tour of Temple Square in early September, but I haven't been on site in a couple of years to see what shape it's in.

I may have my gripes with the church nowadays, but not with landscaping. The know how to landscape architect the crap out of a place. It looks fantastic!

Eagle Gate Tower (World Trade Center) looks much taller and skinnier from that angle than it usually appears

IHC 4th floor. I was there last week. Possibly best shot to see almost everything we got.

We are ready for a 600 footer with a crown or spire. No more boxy half-assed designs please.

Best I can do is a boxy 400 footer.

Remove all of the trees in that photo -- looking at just the architecture, it looks very similar to what you would see in places like Midland, Amarillo, etc. Our skyline needs new life... its sad. I still love the downtown atmosphere, but just the skyline itself (buildings only) sucks!

Midland? Amarillo? Lol wut

I mean, it's better than Midland, TX. A LOT better than Midland, Texas.

Nice downtown aerial from this flattering article:

Thanks for posting. Great article! Though, for those of us non-tech workers with California wages, it makes affording homes, etc more difficult. That’s why I left Seattle.

wrendog · #**18533** Posted **Yesterday, 6:15 PM**

Thanks for the Amarillo aerial, Atlas!

Edit- I don’t know how to change frowny face. Happy photo
