New City Creek Center - Salt Lake City

It has been a long time coming. For years it has been a chaotic mess in downtown Salt Lake City. All except the Temple Square that is, that always stayed beautiful. At first after the demolition it looked like a bomb went off. Then each year as we visited there was the construction everywhere. It was hard to remember what used to be where. It was worth the wait! Now the problem is it is so popular that hoards of folks are coming to take it all in.

At first glance as the construction neared completion, part of the new area was done and
you could get only a peak inside. Visible only was the tantilizing series of entrances
with artistic sculptures showing a hint at the excitement that awaits. This is a shot I took
from the new Deseret Book store at Christmas when the unique and intriguing Gingerbread
Cookie making machine was in their window. I was really focused on the machine but what
I got was a sneak preview of City Creek.
