Are you talking about the building on the northeast corner of 200 East and 200 South? I though that was another of Qwest's buildings.
But yes, it's pretty hideous.

Is it this beauty that you're referring to?

I thought it was Qwest's as well but either way its one of the city's worst.

Salt Lake City was featured in the Colbert Report last night!

Enough said. Let's nip this one in the bud before it becomes an argument.

Orlando · #**1971** Posted **Nov 4, 2009, 7:04 PM**

I think Green Bro has been banned. Green Bro are you out there? Message me. I can't seem to find any of his old posts.

Actually, they show a nice arial view of Downtown and the Wasatch mountains.

TonyAnderson · #**1973** Posted **Nov 4, 2009, 8:43 PM**

Usually when someone is banned their posts still show. You're right though, I don't see any of his posts. Even the one he made in the Basketball thread. Maybe he had them all deleted so no one would know of the information he leaked.

TonyAnderson · #**1974** Posted **Nov 4, 2009, 8:50 PM**

From the article Orlando posted:

"City Creek already is reshaping downtown. Since the beginning of this year, 29 new businesses, including 17 nightclubs, restaurants and pubs have opened on or around Main Street. "

"The first of 700 condominiums and apartments in five towers will be ready for occupation early next year."

I don't know for sure but maybe Greenbro was offended by a few comments that denounced his credibility. There were a couple of people that reffered to the 32 story building as a rumor and speculation.

Green Bro, come back!

That's my guess too. Green Bro was offended and erased his existance.

DMTower · #**1977** Posted **Nov 4, 2009, 9:59 PM**

Maybe somebody private messaged him about it again. That's what pissed him off the last time.

63 percent of city residents have a college degree http://www.deseretnews.com/article/70534...st-liberal-of-Utah-cities-and-towns.html

SWEET ANOLA GAE! Salt lake City proper is more educated then San Fran proper and Seattle proper!

I actually like the top part, it's very distinctive (it was an addition). And yes, it's owned by Quest, or at least was the last time I checked. It's not an office building, it houses equipment, much of which is probably light-sensitive. Those buildings are never pretty.

Isn't this building retrofitted as well?
