City Creek Center photo gallery: A view from demolition to construction in downtown Salt Lake City
When City Creek Center opens it is estimated to generate $1 million in new sales tax revenue. But that direct financial impact is only part of the story of this years-in-the-making project to revitalize the downtown district.

SALT LAKE CITY — City Creek Center, the retail portion of the $1.5 billion mixed-use development in the heart of downtown, is set to open March 22 with a ribbon-cutting at 9:30 a.m.
The 700,000-square-foot shopping center — the only regional shopping center scheduled to open in the United States in 2012 — is a sustainably designed urban community with a retractable roof, a creek that winds through the property as well as a pedestrian skybridge over Main Street. The residential portion of the center was developed by City Creek Reserve Inc., a for-profit development firm owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
More than 90 retailers will occupy the downtown shopping center once completed.

Okay, the last time I said this people complained at me for being 'impatient'.
However, I being a full-on supporter of the D.N., a pretty big nerd, and a person who isn't complaining in a negative way but simply wanting to see this 'paper' More..

Way to find the dark lining in every silver cloud. Just enjoy the new downtown! It's a HUGE improvment over the gray monstrosity that was there before, right?
It must be nice to get this much free advertising from your own newspaper and your own tv station.
