Springtime, Downtown Salt Lake City
Springtime ~ Downtown Salt Lake City ~ A little of this and that.
A lot has changed in the last three years since this thread was bumped. I'll be posting new pics of the many beautiful new developments over
the next week or two, so check back soon.

Stagehands prepare the Capitol Theatre stage for the musical "Wicked"
(Keith Johnson, Deseret News)
The Historic Capitol Theatre was originally constructed as a major vaudeville venue.
The Capitol now serves as home to the internationally acclaimed Ballet West and the Intermountain West's
foremost Regional Opera Company. The Capitol has also served faithfully as a venue for touring broadway productions
for several decades. However, this will change soon as a much larger theatre will be added to downtown that
will serve the metro's passion for major broadway productions and their required lengthy stay. The Capitol's
seating and orchestra pit will be remodeled to more ideally suit it's beloved ballet and opera.

First days of Springtime. Hiking, biking, & jogging trails immediately to the north and above
downtown. Metro Salt Lake City is Mecca to outdoor enthusiasts, who need to both maintain a career, yet live
within footsteps of an unlimited supply of every outdoor, four-season sport imaginable.

Downtown is overflowing with public art. Much of it is the traditional bronze and marble,
but much is also fun and whimsical, as seen below

Springtime at Washington Square. This Richardsonian Romanesque masterpiece serves as City Hall.
It's surrounding park-like setting has become one of Salt Lake City's most popular gathering sites.

LDS Conferece Center: One of the aspects that impresses me most about this giant building is
how it interfaces with it's neigborhood. To the south it's facade and plaza are indicative of it's downtown environs
as a monumental and cultural neighbor. As I walked around it a couple of days ago, I was taken back by the now
maturing landscaping covering it's terraced walls to the east and north. This combined with it's rooftop gardens make
for visual feast for the historic downtown neighborhoods, which are immediately adj. to and either surround or climb
abruptly on two of it's sides. Even those living in high-rise towers to the immediate north have beautiful gardens
to look down on instead of a giant, sterile and vapid roof.

Interior of Assembly Hall, seating over 22,000 people, is the largest of it's kind in the world.
Pictured, is a weekly rehearsal session of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. This venue is often used by the Choir
instead of it's famous, traditional venue, because of it's seating capacity. Ongoing conventions, LDS faithful, and
tourists had often overwhelmed the capacity of the historic tabernacle on Temple Square. The hall is also used
as host for major holiday pageants and as a concert hall for renowned opera soloists or performing artists, etc.,
where seating demand is too high for other downtown venues.

Springtime 2009 ~ Current Downtown Construction

Pic taken by local forum favorite, "T-Mac" on an early, rainy Saturday morning.
This is the new Silver Leed Hamilton Parner's Tower. One of our forum favorite, new pieces of infill,
designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill of Chicago. Pictured Adj. and to the right, the historic Continental
Bank, recently converted to the Monaco, boutique hotel.

Part of the multi-billion dollar new additions to the downtown core is the remake
of existing structures. This, in order to engage the pedestrian in as attractive a manner
as possible.
