Think what you want about religion or the Mormons in particular, but I don't think for a moment that seeing a community like this invest in a community anchor downtown will be anything but positive.

Yeah that's interesting. I am excited about it if it turns out well. I'm not religious in the least bit, but love the buildings when they're done right. It can make a neighborhood look better. I grew up with a lot of Mormons and near a church - super unlavish though haha. My dad actually has a picture from 1917 of the Salt Lake Temple. I have no idea why they were even in SLC then being Jews from NYC on a cross country vacation. Awesome looking building though. This one won't be like that though
