City Creek Center - The Morning of the Opening

It wasn't light yet but getting there. We couldn't resist walking through on our way to work. Opening ceremonies were a little later that morning. Since pictures are worth a thousand words, I will tell the story by the images. I had to be quick since we couldn't be late to work but when Kneaders offered us free french toast for being one of their first 100 customers we couldn't resist. Check out the thickness of that toast!

Trying out this new blog is trying my patience. This time it won't let me make this picture the large size??? I guess I will figure it out eventually. Also the text is now centered rather that left justified?

Still trying to adjust to using Blogspot instead of Wordpress. I'm too old for new technology! Ooopps, better not let them hear that at work. They might fire me! Not a chance, maybe make me extend?!

Yeah, two days latter, I did figure out how to get my text left justified so now you see it fixed....you just highlight the text, go up to the tool bar and click the correct icon and it works. It doesn't work if you don't highlight the text first, unless it is done before the post is started.

Next I have to figure out why the third picture won't let me make it big like the others???? Or change its position. Readers: If you want to see a picture bigger just click on it and it can be viewed full screen. Don't you just love blogging?  Yes, I do despite all its challenges, like why doesn't it always post the article the way I have it arranged on the posting page. Is their a reason it can't be as friendly as Publisher? Larry and I are teaching blogging classes at the FHL right now. Good thing Larry (Elder Cragun) knows what he is doing. I'll get there, I just need to be patient. Of course they, (whoever they are) those techie types will change it just as you get it right so you are wrong again.

OK, back to business. I will post more photos of City Creek so readers can see how great it is. The first week end there must have been 100,000 people there. It wasn't that crowded in the stores but in the outer mall it was wall to wall people. Now that folks have seen the mall court yards, fountains and a river (creek) that runs through it they are into the stores too. The photos below are all (except one) taken very early in the morning before the crowds arrived. None of the stores were open yet.

The curved glass ceiling above opens and shuts. When it is open you don't see it at all. It is something you wouldn't even know exists. Below, this fountain performs to music with the water shooting and swirling to the beat. At night there are times when it shoots fire and water at the same time. I have only seen it do the fire thing one time. The City Creek Center is only a block from our apartment but it is several blocks long with a skybridge to cross the street. I don't shop much but we love to walk through. As I write this Larry (Elder Cragun) has left to bring us home some of that french toast from Kneaders. It is Saturday morning and I am hungry. We get to sleep in. Monday through Friday the alarm goes off at 5:30 AM. Ugh!
