[Future Mayor]

WTF Viper, why did you close the other one and open this one, and delete the link from the first thread to the new thread?

[Ilsaz]

Maybe he objected to the spanish in your threads title? Maybe he wanted his name under it?

Kinda funny if you ask me.

Congrats SLC forumers. You have a pretty city in Deseret and I hope it continues to grow in a smart and sustainable manner.

Cheers.

[Future Mayor]

I assume that it's a fairly pronounced forum rule that it is the moderator's perogative to place a new Sticky. Whatever, I wouldn't get too pissed at Viper. He's probably one of the more kind-hearted moderators on the entire forum. I'm sure there's a very legit explanation.

[blazefirelight]

I'm pretty sure that the Mountain America offices downtown are complete. I went there yesterday and cashed a check.

Moderators make stickies, but they don't have to create the thread.

That being said, just get to discussion (on SLC) already!

[Comrade]

I'm popping my cherry in this thread just so I can see this next to it:

[TANGELD_SLC]

O YAY A NEW THREAD!

When you see all of the new developments in the SLC area at once it actually makes you realize just how fortunate we are in our current economic situation

HERE'S TO THE NEXT 10,000 POSTS!

[delts145]

I'm kind of missing the old thread, but I guess it's time to move on...

Sooo... Here's to North America's most beautifully situated Metro

[urbanboy]

I do love our natural beauty and vistas!!!! Let's do everything needed to preserve them!

I wouldn't say the "town of Alpine" is beautiful, neither would I call it a town. I'd say Mount Timpanogos is beautiful, and Alpine is sprawl; Just another mass of inefficient unsustainable non-transit-oriented subdivisions responsible for clouding our vision, with smog, and our judgement of appropriate scale and responsible living.

It makes sense that Viperlord should start thread 2 because he did start thread 1. Also, I like his project rundown to be the first thread on the first page.

[Future Mayor]

When I started the new thread I wasn't aware of the unwritten rule that the creator of the first thread start the second thread.

Viper, will you please update the projects at the beginning of this thread as people post them.

Wizard of the Wasatch (Utah history)
By: Ardis E. Parshall - May 28, 2008
“Out of the cavernous canyons of the Wasatch, shaking off the misty mystery of centuries, in all his magic splendor and mystifying majesty, the Wizard of the Wasatch will come into the city of Salt Lake on the evening of August 9 …”

To Utah readers in the 19-teens, that newspaper announcement made perfect sense. They knew that Hatumai, the Wizard of the Wasatch, lived with Queen Sirrah in a cavern far up City Creek Canyon, attended by legions of fairies. Hatumai was the great Spirit of the state, who eons ago laid down the precious metals and conditioned the soil to bring forth fruits and flowers. He guarded the Indians and guided the pioneers and miners, and once each year he visited his capital city.

If asked how they knew that, Salt Lakers would have feigned wide-eyed surprise at your ignorance – then told you to read HATUMAI backwards.

Hatumai was the creation of Fisher Harris, a Virginian transplanted to Salt Lake in 1889. Harris devoted his life to promoting Utah as a business and tourist destination, and to bridging the social, political, and religious divides of his adopted state.

“There is more romance and beauty hidden in the history of these hills and valleys around us than in any other part of the earth,” he wrote. “That beauty and romance has lain hidden away long enough. It should now be brought out and exhibited to the world.”

Harris announced in 1908 that he had been appointed scribe to the Wizard. He transmitted Hatumai’s orders to the Commercial Club, which, during the summer carnival season, reorganized itself as the Wards of the Wizard of the Wasatch.

The three-day carnivals featured downtown parades of flower-bedecked cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Other parades focused on Utah’s people: mothers pushing baby carriages, schools and fraternal organizations marching together, and military units in formation. Salt Lake’s newsboys, organized into a junior police force with uniforms provided by the Tribune, proudly showed off their newly-acquired marching skills. Other parades were dedicated to commerce.

A favorite feature was the illuminated night-time parade to escort the Wizard and his Queen into the city. The floats in these parades were linked to the overhead electrical lines that powered the street cars; in contrast to city streets that were not yet routinely lighted, these illuminated floats were as magical as Harris could have wished. Costumed Utahns joined the royal couple at a formal ball sponsored by the governor, the mayor, chief officers from Fort Douglas, and social figures from around the state.

Citizens who preferred a more free-wheeling form of amusement repaired to the “Gulch,” an area on Second East from Third to Fourth South, fenced off and devoted to what was discretely called “the spirit of revelry.”

One year Silas Christofferson, the “Birdman of San Francisco,” brought two biplanes to town. His 15-minute flights took place morning and afternoon, thousands of people standing in the streets to watch. Another year a traveling salesman demonstrating a new fire escape leaped from the top of the Walker Building to the pavement below, time and time again, to the delighted terror of his audience. Not to be outdone by an amateur, the Salt Lake Fire Department raised its highest ladder, and firemen took turns jumping into rescue nets.

The Wizard’s carnivals enlivened Utah’s summers for several years, but Harris’s premature death robbed Salt Lake of the real genius behind the Wizard. By carnival season of 1917, the United States had entered World War I, and Utah, anxious to cement its still-shaky position as a loyal and most patriotic state, threw all her energy into patriotic displays and Red Cross work.

The world changed during the years of the war, and Utah put aside the whimsical boosting of its youth to focus instead on the serious adult business of women’s rights, child labor, and liquor control. Hatumai and Sirrah retired to their mountain caverns, their names fading from the memory of their subjects. Might they still be there, waiting for an invitation to return?

The No-Ni-Shee Arch was a temporary archway near the intersection of Main Street and South Temple in downtown Salt Lake City. The archway was built in 1916 for the Wizard of the Wasatch festival.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-Ni-Shee_Arch

[cololi]

Awesome find. How cool would it be to bring back the arch, but place it on the south end of Main as the southern entrance.

[SLC Projects]

I like that "The No-Ni-Shee Arch" I wish the city would of kept it. However the top part does block out the View to the North. Nevertheless it would of been really cool so see trax run under it.

However, that arch looks really temporary. I do love arches in cities though.

[urbanboy]

The article even explained that is was a "temporary arch"

That's so funny! I was thinking the exact same thing!!!

[arkhitektor]

Or, how about using it as the model in designing the mid-block skybridge over main street? Then it would at least have some sort of historic precedent:



vs.

[urbanboy]

I actually offered up this idea a while back.

Also, this arch was the inspiration for the bridge I drew.

[WASDEN]

Anything would be better than the proposed "gerbil tube." I am quite partial to your skybridge design Urbanboy- very classy.
