The church office building is ENORMOUS!

Post by _Ceeboo »

In another thread, there were a few pictures posted of the "COB". Thanks Quasi.
(I was informed that the "COB" is the church office building in Salt Lake City).

Although I am not sure why (as I offered in the other thread, perhaps it's my own ignorance showing), I was very very surprised by the size of the COB (It's HUGE!)

This has made me most curious.

What all is in that building?
Are they all LDS offices?
Have any of you ever been in the building?
Is that where FAIR/FARMS is?
Is it open to the public (Can Ceeboo go poking around?)
Can President Monson be found there?

Anything else you can offer to help me get a better understanding?


by the way: There was one picture that shows three structures (Temple, Hotel, and COB) and I will simply and only suggest that it is most interesting.

Anyhooo, I was blown away by the pics.

Peace,
Ceeboo

You do know praising your own comments is pathetic right?

Hey, Nehor: why don't you "neutralize" Stak's comment by telling him that he doesn't know for sure?

It is all LDS offices.

Have any of you ever been in the building?


Once upon a time, they let anyone go up to the observation deck. I did that when I was younger.

Is that where FAIR/FARMS is?


FAIR and the Maxwell Institute are totally separate things, and neither of them are located in the COB. The Maxwell Institute, for example, is on the BYU campus in Provo.


Is it open to the public (Can Ceeboo go poking around?)


Before 9/11 it was.

Can President Monson be found there?


I think so.

Anything else you can offer to help me get a better understanding?


Runtu is the one you want to talk to. He's worked there.

I've never played WoW. What level is your virginity?

Do your comforter and pillow cases display photos of DCP? Do you have DCP wallpaper? Do you have DCP plush toys?
