Salt City Dusk.

[Sean Reynolds]

Went downtown tonight and snapped some photos. SOME kicked ass, others were too dark or too blury. But who cares right? A lot of people out tonight, which is odd because everyone says downtown is dead. Oh, and they weren't goin to a Jazz game cause they weren't playin tonight.

Anyway, enjoy the photo tour.

A view of the Wells Fargo Center and One Utah Center from the corner of Broadway and State.

Looking up State Sreet from Broadway.

Looking up at the Broadway Centre.

Eastern Broadway with some ugly buildings. Eastern downtown is older and uglier.

Ya' gonna come run with me?

Again looking up State, but this time from the other side.

Three of Salt Lake City's tallest.

Who's sexy?

Broadway shops.

From L to R - some old building, JC Penny Building.

I LOVE the Wells Fargo Center. And you'll notice that because I took a lot of photos of it.

One Utah Center with the bridge that connects to the Wells Fargo Center.

Again the Wells Fargo Center - get used to it.

Cause here is another shot!

Light Rail coming up Main Street.

Historical buildings on Main.

People just off of Trax, coming to enjoy a night in downtown SLC.

One Utah Center with an Olympic Tower.

Best shot of the night. Wells Fargo Center with its NEW TV on the side. NCAA Tourny was playing. As you can see UCONN was killin Vandy.

Guy watchin the TV.

Wells with the SLC 2002 Tower.

More Main Street.

Looking up to the One Utah Center.

Walker Center. Tallest in SLC when built - also one of the tallest in the western US when built.

Again up to the One Utah Center.

Looking to the Wells Fargo TOWER, not to be confused with the Wells Fargo Center.

Looking north up Main Street.

Capitol Theatre.

Side and back of the Wells Fargo Center.

Front of the Capitol Theatre.

The American Towers.

Lookin' down Broadway, sorry for the crappy quality.

Zoomed to Squarters Pub

Pierpont Drive.

Salt Palace Convention Center.

Finally, one last Main Street shot.

There, hope you enjoyed.

Wow! Awesome tour, Sean! SLC might not have much in the way of height, but it sure has a lot of great historic architecture. A nice mix of buildings from all eras (even though I'm not too fond of the 60s/70s architectural styles myself). And it's nice to see so many people out and about. I wouldn't have expected to see so many people of on a weeknight, so that was a pleasant surprise.

Damn your vanity Sean!!! I like the trolley stops and the "Boston" store . Main Street sure has an interesting variety of building styles.

Some nice looking buildings, and I love the mountains in the background.

[Sean Reynolds]

It's odd Scott, Salt Lake City has a lot of Boston ties. Lots of our architecture came from Boston architects and hell we even have a building called the Boston Building (twin is the New House) they were Salt Lake City's first true skyscrapers.

Here is the Boston/NewHouse Buildings on Main Street.

The Boston Building is the left one.

TRAX is our light-rail line. It was finished in 1998 and basically goes from Sandy (south valley) to the Delta Center (downtown) and has a UofU spur that goes from downtown to the University of Utah. They're planning on an airport spur, a West Valley spur, SugarHouse spur (by me). They're also starting to create commuter rail lines.

Yeah, SLC even got light rail before Detroit. Unless you consider Coleman's train to nowhere light rail. LOL.
