Mr. Yahoo Bot,
I recall when going through the COB back in the early 70's before it was put into actual use, the Church tour guide said it was a structure built to standards to last until and throughout the Millenium.
Regards,
Spider.

Speaking of Rodin's sculpture, BYU official Alan Wilkins observed: "'The Thinker' does not represent the sort of activity that we believe is appropriate for the BYU setting."

If the "millenium" means, "until the first retrofit/remodel", then the tour guide was absolutely correct. Kind of like horse=tapir, translation=catalyst, etc etc.
You probably were not listening with your "spiritual ears".

Mr. tchild,
Right you are. That might have been the day I got my Spock ears at that shop down on Main street.

Such as? Or is this just more biased conjecture?
Our family used to be familiar with a couple of the "investors" dead set on buying up the entire periphery. They could never win because the land was held be so many speculators/horders.
You've been been there. I must be at least 80% correct. Not much has changed in 30 years.

I don't have the foggiest idea who owns any of the surrounding property. Furthermore, I'm not sure what the radius of influence is for some critics in terms of the Church's alleged "responsibility" to clean up the surrounding neighborhoods (or how the Church is supposed to do such a thing).

Are they waiting for the church to put tithing money to cleaning it up, ala downtown SLCentral?
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.

It's not even close to the same kind of area (in terms of zoning, etc.) and I doubt very much that the Church has the same vested interest in maintaining the surrounding areas for all temples as it does for THE Temple Square.
