2007 Itty Bitty Salt Lake City — Less is more

Yes, there is a bit less city these days: Crossroads Plaza has disappeared, the Key Bank building on Main has imploded, and the ZCMI Center block is being pulled apart one steel beam at a time. But there's still plenty of downtown left for our 15th annual Itty Bitty Salt Lake City contest.

As usual, we're providing a set of tiny clues that represent fragments of downtown architecture, signs, statues and icons. All you have to do is identify them.

You'll find them in the area bordered by South Temple and 400 South, 300 East and 200 West.

This year the Deseret Morning News is partnering with The Temporary Museum of Permanent Change, a museum without walls whose motto is "Always changing. Always open. See for yourself." The museum — founded earlier this year by sculptor and former Salt Lake City planning director Stephen Goldsmith, photographer John Schaefer and graphic artist Gilberto Schaefer — is planning activities and displays designed to encourage Utahns to keep coming downtown during the four years it will take to build City Creek Center.

1. Match the Itty Bitty clues pictured on the link above with the real thing (or grab today's printed edition LifeEtc. section cover of the paper). All items can be found in the 20-block downtown area bordered by South Temple and 400 South, 300 East and 200 West, including both sides of all boundary streets, as well as midblock walkways.

Everything pictured here can be seen from the outside, but not necessarily from the road, so you will need to get out of your car.

And remember that just because you don't see something as you walk in one direction doesn't mean you won't see it if you walk in the other direction.

2. We hope, by the time you try to find the items pictured here, that the items have not been removed, erased, bulldozed or painted over, as has occasionally happened in past years.
