Twilight Concert Series Post

Really? This post should have happened MONTHS and MONTHS ago, but I thought I would
wait until the bitching began from all of the PEOPLE out there(whiners in their most annoying form really) who can't appreciate a FREE concert for what it is.
Please stop bitching whiny people--we all know it is because you are too prudish
to appreciate an amazing thing when you see it.(read the comments, not the article so much)

Anyway, come one, come all--all 40,000 of you, to the most wonderful neighborhood in the city for some amazing bands and a great time!

The New York Times is kind of stingy with it's sharing but I really enjoyed
their 36 Hours in Salt Lake City Article--yay!

Eve Salt Lake City: Such a great change from First Night!

I don't know about anyone else but I was tired of the old and tired, family exclusive, dry(in all senses), and expensive First Night. I planned this year
to stay in, with friends and be bored. Then I heard about Eve: WOW what a change
this is going to bring to DSLC with it's amazing line up of events for ALL(young, old,
Republican, Democrat, saint and sinner alike!) Events are inside and out and there truly is something for everyone(including little Ms Cleo who may be attending the animal activities at the Gateway)
Check out the schedule and maps at their oh so glossy and easy to use website
From an art treasure hunt, to fireworks, to outdoor concerts to kids crafts all with free parking, dining discounts, and free transportation on the 31st this is the most bang for your $15 there is going to be on the big night and the 2 days before! I'll be there every day! I live in the middle of everything! All of the events are a short, free Trax ride away!

YIPEE! Private Clubs out, Pierpont entertainment district IN!

I'm not sure if you can feel it but the winds of change in our fair city
are a flutter and it has a name: Pierpont Entertainment District.

Home to some of SLC hottest clubs(note not private clubs for members any longer!) E Pierpont Ave is poised to be THE place to be on the weekends if you want a great time, walk-ability and beautiful people.

E Pierpont Ave is hidden between 200 & 300 S and 100 & 200 W and is flanked by all of the best restaurants in the city. Included are the likes of Red Rock Brewery, The Metropolitan, Squatters, and last but not least Acme Burger. Additionally, on the opposite side and next door to one another are the Hotel and Elevate--to dance the night away. But Pierpont, oh little Pierpont is coming into it's own and is a happy addition to the weekend flurry of fun. With the legendary Lumpy's(has to be part of some kind of historic registry by now) and the recent addition of the Sandbar this quaint street is hoppin' and if you don't want to dance but you want more than dinner this is a great alternative for a great night out.

Bottom line: ditch your car, get glammed up, and hit the town-this is not to be missed!

Gallery Strolling it+Spring Fashion Show-TONIGHT! 7pm

Tonight's stroll is not to be missed!
a little food, a little art, a litte fashion show--what's not to like?
Plus you know you have been hibernating(and for good cause-the weather has been brutal!) but it is time to wake up, get out and see what is going on in the SLC art scene

Check it out--SLC is still on the rise--I could really get behind this!

Skyline District
The Skyline District is, first and foremost, cosmopolitan. It bustles with activity and purpose; it invokes action and prosperity. Home to downtown's traditional business center along Main Street, the Skyline District is what its name implies - the place for taller buildings, commerce, government activity, entertainment and unique shopping. The Skyline District includes downtown's largest concentration of office workers and a growing number of residents.

It's where a new corporate headquarters building and high-rise apartment buildings feel at home. The new mixed-use City Creek Center anchors the northern edge of the Skyline District. Mid-rise residential buildings line 200 East in a "Park Avenue" concept featuring green parkways in the center of the street, creating a pleasant, leafy pedestrian-oriented environment.

Temple Square District
The calm and tranquil antithesis of the Skyline District to the south is the Temple Square District. It is green, contemplative and at a slight remove from the material world. Centered on the majestic Salt Lake LDS Temple, built with pioneer determination over 40 years, the Temple Square District is the historical spiritual heart of downtown. It contains not only the important religious buildings on Temple Square itself - the city's and state's largest visitor attraction - but also a major employment center at the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints office complex, and a new higher-education center composed of the LDS Business College and Brigham Young University's Salt Lake City extension. The Temple Square District has promising opportunities for serving as a key link in efforts to connect the Wasatch Range with the Jordan River Parkway by a network of Green Loops.

The Broadway District
is one of the places Salt Lake City goes to have fun. It is the lively epicenter for the arts, culture, entertainment and hospitality. It is animated, bold and lively. The Broadway District takes its cue both from the historical name for 300 South - Broadway, which the district is centered on - and from the quintessential home for theater and entertainment in New York. The Broadway District contains the theaters, art galleries, restaurants and bars that make downtown the cultural center of the Intermountain West. The Broadway District is home to growing population of residents living in new condos and converted loft- style flats, and it includes the Downtown Public Market, located in a permanent home in Pioneer Park or elsewhere in this area. The District is enlivened by the creation of interesting places for bars, restaurants and shops in the interior of blocks, connected to the street by pedestrian passageways.

The Salt Palace District
is all about hosting and caring for our visitors. It feels welcoming, friendly and gracious. With the newly expanded Salt Palace Convention Center at its core, the Salt Palace District is the place for conventions and trade shows and their related hotels and services, the place people temporarily call home while visiting the city. Because of its focus on visitors, the Salt Palace District is closely intertwined with and overlaps the Broadway District, and could serve as home for a large performing arts center to house professional traveling shows and other events. The Salt Palace District will also be the site of a future convention- headquarters hotel featuring up to 1,000 rooms. This district is also one logical home for a future Global Exchange Place, a group of buildings that could include an international mediation center, a language translation facility and educational components - all gathered around a pedestrian-oriented plaza.

Gateway District
The Gateway District is entrepreneurial, lively and inventive. It is an incubator for new enterprises and creativity -- the place where artisans, writers, entrepreneurs and others congregate to live, work, shop and converse. It's warehouse spaces are filled with art galleries, high-tech businesses, unique shops and one-of-a-kind restaurants. The Gateway District encompasses a broad swatch of downtown stretching west to Interstate 15 and including several sub-districts such as the Rio Grande District, Granary District and The Gateway shopping district itself. As the name implies the Gateway District is key to downtown as the entry point for most visitors via automobile, light rail, bus and commuter rail. It is home to the new Salt Lake Central Station, the intermodal transit hub that will grow in importance along with the downtown and regional rail network. Its excellent transit connections, supply of warehouse structures, superb shopping and undeveloped land make the Gateway District a center of focus for Salt Lake City's growing downtown.

Grand Boulevards District
The Grand Boulevards welcome the world to downtown Salt Lake. This district includes the foremost entry corridor from the Salt Lake International Airport and is also home to many of Downtown's hotels. With many hotels, it is truly a hospitality neighborhood. As such, the Grand Boulevards offer an outstanding first impression. The dominant features of this district are 500 South and 600 South leading to the doorstep of the Grand America Hotel. Buildings here clearly have the strongest presence on the street - creating an urban ambience - while stately landscaping hints at the beauty further within downtown. The urban design is monumental, befitting the width and character of these Grand Boulevards.

My degree of separation to Patrick Dempsey

Remember my experience photographing for Blank slate?

Well last week while the drama was unfolding on Grey's Anatomy
I was very excited to see that the serial killer role
was played by none other than Eric Stoltz



That makes for one degree of separation between me and Mc Dreamy--
Somehow if feels like I should be a little more excited about this
oh well--maybe I will go out and stalk some celebrities at Sundance
Take that Robert Redford!

Downtown Living--NOW is the time!

I thought I would share this list of some of the new developments in the hottest neighborhood in town!

http://www.patrickdrygoods.com/
near the salt palace- These little units are ready for you to buy!
awe inspiring views, amazing location, and the characteristic Allen Millo knack for
making a space seem MUCH larger than it actually is make this a great investment property or primary residence.
(call me or email for prices and availability)
http://www.metroparkwest.com/
new construction on the west side of pioneer park....still taking reservations...hasn't broken ground yet
http://www.allenmillo.com/broadway/index.html
new construction on the N side of Pioneer park-next door to Tony Caputos just N of the park(think rolling out of bed and walking across the street to the Farmers Market) This building is nearly complete! Get yours today!
(email or call me for pricing)
http://www.wglofts.com/
Luxuriously lofty spaces at a discounted price!
You pick your custom finishes!
Perfect location and everyone likes $30/month year round heating and cooling
bills-go green without even lifting a finger!

I am out of breath because...

I am spreading the word
Westgate Phase II is dropping prices
just to sell one unit in the next few weeks
(there are 16
available still)
I just talked to the agent and she is willing to do one
for just over 200k(orig selling for 280k)for 726 sq feet!
These are geothermal heated and cooled(ie 30/month for
heating and cooling) and the HOA fees cover ALL other
utilities(at .20c/sq foot) including Wireless Internet and
Cable TV.
You get to pick your counters and cabinets still and
really have a great selection of units since the building
is empty!
The units all come with one covered parking spot as well.
Unit rents in the neighborhood for that amount of space is
$1000-2000/month
so these units make GREAT investments as well!

They are offering financing too so don't be shy--they are also
paying all closing costs which is really nice!

If anyone you know wants to get into this neighborhood
this seems to be the time.
All of the new construction happening with the church and
other buildings that are taking reservations in the area
are selling at about 450-500/sq foot--the Westgate is selling at about 330
but because of the soft market they aren't moving!

SM and I are considering buying one just because
we love the neighborhood and seriously these are such
great prices!

Anyone that would like to see one or has questions
can call me and I will give them the grand tour
or just stop in and see the model which is
open T-F almost all day.

Since the market is so slow, if you can get a loan
this is a great time to get into property for great
prices! Sellers are really willing to work with buyers
and with Rates as low as they are there has never
been a better time to buy!

If you have questions call or write!
