*YOU* and people like you are why I rarely post.
I have an open mind, you don't.
You are passionate about this, no doubt...BUT...
If you want a thread to vent about the Utah Theater, create one.
I've only posted 40 times? So what!
Quality over quantity.
I've been reading skyscraperpage and following this forum since the early 2000s.
My original user, Skyscrapers4Me, was created in 2007 after several years of just reading.
My current user was created in 2014 after I lost my password.
I suspect...*YOU* are the johnny-come-lately, sonny.
I don't feel the need to blab endlessly about dead projects, unlike some people. No one needs to feel my angst.
I'm old school, sonny. Older and wiser than you, sonny.
I was in high school when than Sears Tower and original WTC were built in the late 1970s.
I was upset when the Hotel Newhouse got imploded. Remember that?
I went to dances at the Terrace Ballroom next door many times, saw many good concerts there.
I can tell you far more about the history of architecture in SLC and the background then you could ever imagine.
I love skyscrapers. I love architecture. I love city development. I love SLC. And I love good theater.
Makid is spot on with those posts. Facts, not emotion.
You want to come on here and hijack the forum with endless posts about a theater that no one paid to restore, 30 years too late.
If you wanted the theater saved, why didn't you pony up the money and restore it yourself? There are already two theaters in the area, there is no parking in the area, no one went there in the first place, it was a fire hazard that was waiting for homeless people to accidentally burn down when looking for shelter in the winter, and it wasn't earthquake-proof.
If you want to act and have any self-confidence, why don't you audition and go on stage there?
I would've loved to see the theater saved and restored, but no one did it, no one ever would!
There are many others reading and writing on this forum who feel the same way but bite their tongues.
Now continue attacking me and anyone else who would like to see actual development of skyscrapers in the Salt Lake area, while you delay actual development that would've upgraded the area and provided more customers to the existing theaters.
People post facts about why the theater got torn down, facts about why the city does things the way it does, and you rip into them and call them liars.
You attack the developers.
I'm sure you'll go off and attack me personally, while bringing nothing valid to the table.
The moderators allow your constant posting and attacking. I'm hoping I don't get banned now for saying what needed to be said. I'm done with it.
Yes, you touched a nerve.
Back off.
That being said...
Have a nice day and calm down. Prove me wrong by letting it go.
I apologize to the other readers, moderators, and posters for this rant.
No need to talk to this guy anymore, for me anyway. Let's get back to actual topics.
