Went out today and snapped some photos of Salt Lake City's largest neighborhood - central city. Of course it's located in the central area of Salt Lake City (just south/east of downtown Salt Lake City). Anyway, the neighborhood is probably one of the most diverse in the city - with a mix of latino and black (albeit the black population is smaller).

So let us begin!

We begin looking up to an apartment complex - sitting atop a hill.

A lot of the streets in this neighborhood are very narrow. Like this one.
Posted Image

Small parking lot for this area.
Posted Image

Small home.
Posted Image

Some older homes.
Posted Image

Nice duplex.
Posted Image

Another smaller street.
Posted Image

The Trolley Square water tower stands tall over this area.
Posted Image

Some more homes.
Posted Image

Not sure if this store is vacant.
Posted Image

Some apartments.
Posted Image

Apartment complex.
Posted Image

Some more apartments.
Posted Image

Looking down a narrow street.
Posted Image

Some homes.
Posted Image

Posted Image

Yet another duplex.

Down another street.
Posted Image

Behind these trees sits a home.
Posted Image

More apartments.
Posted Image

Another home.
Posted Image

Yet another street....
Posted Image

Again.
Posted Image

Someone likes shopping carts.
Posted Image

Some newer rowhouses.
Posted Image

Yawn.
Posted Image

:rolleyes:
Posted Image

Ugh, talk about a horrible mother. This baby was outside - playing around while the mom yelled from inside. Also had her music up LOUD.
Posted Image

Posted Image

Typical street.

This is the Virgin Mary tree. In 1996 someone spotted the Virgin Mary in the tree - now it draws the large Hispanic community to it all the time. In fact people were there when I snapped some photos.
Posted Image

Posted Image

More homes.
Posted Image

Some business.
Posted Image

Again.
Posted Image

Looking up State Street. The City-County Building can be seen.

Nice photos :) . A lot of those remind me of my city, Flint, MI. Although there are a lot of differences - the most notable being that people actually live there, unlike in my city.

Great stuff Sean,
I really liked the first rowhouses. I`ve noticed the city is very lush and green as opposed to the moutains. Real good thread! B)

Well it's good that people live in these homes. But not so sure it's good that it reminds you of Flint. ;)

Thanks. There are a lot of trees in Central City - and this was only a small area of the neighborhood. I could have ventured further south, but I thought I'd save that for another day.

Excellant Photography and subject matter. These neighborhoods look wonderful in their layout. Thanks for sharing it here.

Like SLC the street layout is all in a grid. I know many people get sick of the grid, but oh well. Central City has a lot of narrow streets that cut between the main roads (which are all _00 South/West/East.

Nice pictures!

That photo makes that part of town seem like its own seperate small town.

Sometimes the best parts of town (IMO) are not the places with the money, these pictures prove that for me!

Yeah State Street is mostly box-shops like the ones you'd find on small town Main Streets.
