Of course! Nothing screams "vibrant" like an Old Spaghetti Warehouse.


OMG! Is that restaurant still there? I ate there over thirty years ago.

I liked Trolly Square from what I can remember of it.

More corruption in Salt Lake than in Vegas? Say it isn't so!

In case you were wondering, the ROI for this project will take more than 50 years

I would like to see more information on where you're getting the 8.21 billion ... it sounds like someone has fessed up to at least 5b.

I want to state, for the record, that I did not say this. I might have thought it, but I did not say it. Even Packer's house didn't cost this much.
(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.

I have corrected my typo. Should have been 6.21 instead of 8.21. The extra Billion is in hidden projects that were tied to City Creek Center Project and not included in original funding.

I got stuck on the second post at "probability of (-) 1 billion." Should that be 1/(1 billion)?

That is probably the best way to state it. I was trying to show the biggest negative number possible.

What other projects are part of the downtown SLC revitalization?

Is it all funded by the church? The article says a large part of it is the city creek centre.

What else is included in the 5 billion number and how much of it is funded by the church?

What was the original projection? I do not recall any reasons why overruns would be required or made to appear legitimate. Was it mostly Pork Packing to refill the coffers of those who lost millions in 2008? If the numbers are true the General Church should insist, or sue, for an exhaustive audit.
