For
my project in Utah I managed to rent a corner apartment in a high-rise building
just north of the temple square. Most interesting feature: a heated driveway
for the underground parking. When it snows, the driveway is heated so that
any snow or ice melts. Major flaw: the melted water runs onto the (not heated)
street and freezes immediately. |

View
from my window to the West. Nondescript Salt Lake City architecture in front
of beautiful mountains -- and great sunsets. Urban sprawl is SLC's biggest
enemy. The city stretches along more than 100 blocks on the North-South
axis. |

Not
visible in this photo: SLC is still a major railroad town. The infamous
Golden Spike was inserted some 30 miles North of here. |
