I could just insert the URL, but that might be kinda agitating.

The URL linked links to the "webpage" rather than the image itself. Flickr is weird, so you can't right click on images and find their source, but in other circumstances if you right click on an image it should show "open image in new tab", where the actual image URL lies.

But the flickr url works... I would suggest that everyone goes and looks at the flickr album so we don't make you work any more than you have to lol

I would really recommend using imgur for hosting images, it really is the best image hosting website.

I did look through the Flickr album though and the pictures are awesome!

Well, they did show up just fine Sunday morning. Whatever you did since then please undo it...

Thanks for the updates!

I had a great weekend and fell in love with this city again.
Went to the Pie hole and then saw an LA punk band at Urban Lounge Friday night
Ballet West Gala at the Capitol Theatre which opened with a performance to the music of Janis Joplin Saturday night
Honestly if you live here and you are bored it's because you are boring

I'll drink to that. I sometimes read comments from people on this forum and wonder if we live in the same city and state. This is an awesome state and city to live, work and play. It certainly has things I would like to change, which are probably different than what others want changed, but I am always lamenting that I don't have enough time or money to do all the things I want to. I can only report my experiences, but my life has been full and happy living here.

Is this West 200 South?

It looks like the SW corner of 1300 S &500 e is going to be redeveloped. Does anybody know what is planned for that corner?

It’s over at Reddit, where this outdated forum should consider migrating to.

When investors succeed, regular Joes like you and me get screwed. I never thought I'd be priced out of Utah.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

Salt Lake is leading industrial growth, but the suburbs are dominating new office space.

This is the conundrum I've been discussing ad nauseum. I personally blame the citizens and local developers for their ignorance of proper urban planning. We are living in a mountain basin. The region is not conducive to sprawl. The overall development process along the Wasatch Front has been a failure. No intelligent thought process has been achieved when considering sprawl, traffic, and pollution. I have read numerous comments from different publications other than this forum. Articles discuss the rapid current and future growth. The comments from the locals are frustrating. They honestly believe that additional growth will occur away from the Wasatch Front. SLC is clearly behind the eight ball as well when discussing development. The culprits: Poor leadership, and wimpy local lenders. Hopefully the trends can change. Hopefully capital firms and developers outside of Utah will address the in equilibrium on the supply and demand curve. The locals clearly don't know how to.

I didn't mention this in the article but it is the out of state developers that are going for the downtown office space like Held and Patrinely. And it is the out of state developers that are doing the really large residential like Salt. I think we are going to see a jump in out of state interest and they are going to be the ones leading a lot of downtown and downtown adjacent development over the next decade.

yeah, investors forced Utahns to have a million babies. Srsly how does increasing the supply of housing increase prices? If we can blame anyone other than Mom and Dad it's all the nimbys standing in the way of the investors and developers.
