So while Phoenix and Denver may have more impressive skylines it doesn't always equate to a more vibrant downtown.
I have had several associates from Denver over the years and while I know a lot has changed, they told me 10 years ago that while Denver has a bigger downtown and a larger skyline that it was simply a business oriented city and that SLC had a much better arts and culture and more welcoming downtown. This is the same thing I have heard about Phoenix in comparison to SLC.

How many operating stores are on Maine street right now?
and SLC has some awesome parks in the northern part of Downtown.
Salt Lake City has cool apartments just north Of the CBD that are usually cut out of the skyline photos,
also most of our skyline photos seem to be from the North West as to include the temple which cuts out the majority of our buildings. If you look at SLC from the east, especially south east coming down on University Bl. our downtown looks amazing.
