Drove by the site today (labor day) and while no one was working (being labor day and all) there was a backhoe on the site. I'll bet they start excavation very soon, like tomorrow hopefully.

btw, it looks like activity has finally started at broadway park lofts.

What do you mean no one was working? There were workers working on the demolition for City Creek Center today on Labor Day.

true, I drove by CCC and watched them tear down some of the black bitch and I must admit, there is something pretty cool about destruction. It must be the primal warrior in us that wants to conquer and destroy other people and thier works and then set ourselves up and rulers and kings.


WTF did I just say! man, I need to lay off the fantasy for awhile... after tomorrow when I see Spamalot downtown. I'll have to check the status of 222 S main while I'm there.

Last I noticed they had continued to demo the asphalt that was there and set up the job trailer and other equipment. I drive passed it everyday on my way to work so I'll pay more attention next time.

Not much. I haven't noticed any changes at all for the last couple of weeks.

I drove by today at noon and there wasn't a lot going on there. Some asphalt and cement has been torn up and that was about all.

I drove by yesterday before leaving downtown to head home. Some more asphalt and dirt moved, but nothing too significant. Slowly progressing forward.

I noticed this morning that they have dug a much bigger hole in the ground since that picture was taken.

I didn't have a camera on me today but the hole is much bigger now. I was down there at about 4 pm (thursday) and there were a bunch of guys with hard hats and blue prints looking at the site and pointing at shit as the backhoe was digging. It was pretty cool. and I'm pretty drunk so I apologize for the incoherence of this post, just wanted to let you guys know that progress is being made.
