Olympic sound-off question

"What do you think of Mayor Rocky Anderson's suggestion to create an Olympics-like atmosphere on the weekends in downtown Salt Lake City after the Games have ended?"

Fern Larson - Preston, Idaho

"I think they better do that. Get more people downtown and increase business."

Cameron Dilley - Magna

"I think it's a good idea, bringing some business downtown, but they'd better plan on bringing in some police."

Tom Jones - Truckee, Calif

"I think it would be a good idea. You've got everything down here. You could have concerts and jazz festivals."

Marge Erickson - Sandy

"I think it's a great idea. I don't want everyone that's here now to go home. I would love to fill up the streets again and be crowded."

Julie Koplin - Draper

"I think it's a great plan. I love having everyone downtown . . . I'd really like more arts events."

George Entwistle - Sandy

"I think it's a good idea, to liven up downtown. Otherwise, it's dead here."
