City Creek

We went the weekend before Christmas to the new City Creek development in downtown Salt Lake City. It is still partially under construction and the new mall there is not open yet. There is also a couple of large buildings that have privately owned condo style apartments. Jon Huntsman lives in a penthouse apartment in the building we were in (my dad talked to him and we missed him by just a couple of minutes). It is a secure building that requires an electronic key to get in. Even the parking lot was pretty cool because you have to use the electronic key to drive through a special garage door for parking that is secluded from the general parking in the new City Creek parking garage.

The view from our condo was even more amazing. From our window and the balcony we had a perfect view of Temple Square across the street. We could see the Assembly Hall, the Salt Lake Temple, the Tabernacle, the Conference Center, the Church Office Building, the City Creek mall, and the Utah State Capital building perfectly. It was fun to watch all the people walk around Temple Square and look at the Christmas lights.
