But that if people living in those same areas refer to it that way, they are being ignorant.
I wasn't refering at all to "Wasatch One" the forumer.

I think what we are seeing here is that Provo is no longer the dominant city in Utah County that it used to be. When I moved here Provo was dominated by BYU and Orem had Genenva Steel. Over the past 2decades that has shifted to the point that developers don't look at Provo at the only place to build large developments.
I don't know that I like all the sprawl, but I also don't see a push to centralize the large developments. What would the valley look like if the Gehry project and Thanksgiving Point business Park , the Embassy Suites Convention center project in PG and Midtown were being built in one central location in Provo? Say South of Downtown between Center and 500 South?
Any thoughts?
