This guy tans outside of this construction site at 9am every weekday morning. Most mornings there is also an older man sitting on the bench, watching the tanner. It's a really bizarre thing to see as I head to work everyday.
Look closely and you'll see the tanner.
demolition area for future John Steinbeck Park. The building is mostly gone..... I remember there being a chiropractor's office there a while back.. then abandoned for many years.... what was it before that it had this furnace?
On the site of the old Brookside Engineering area which had its main frontage on to Springfield Drive and also on to Fairfax Drive next to where the old wood yard was that has already been redeveloped.
Interesting to see the use of wood as a mainframe for housing construction has come back in to fashion during the last twenty years or so.

September 16, 2024 - Assembly Hall was closed due to construction.
"The Assembly Hall on Temple Square is a Gothic Revival style building finished in 1882. It was built as place of worship for local Latter-day Saint congregations in Salt Lake City, Utah. The historic building is located on the southwest corner of Temple Square. It was built using stone from the same quarry as the Salt Lake Temple.
In the late 1870s, many assembly halls were built throughout the community as places to worship God. They were a statement of permanence and refinement for the Church and the community. The Assembly Hall on Temple Square was announced in 1877 to replace an older adobe tabernacle that had not been in use due to the increasing complexity of keeping it in good repair. The Assembly Hall was used at various times to host stake conferences and other meetings for the Salt Lake Stake. It was also used for many years during general conference for stake and mission leaders to report on their service while Apostles of the Church spoke in the Salt Lake Tabernacle. It is still used today as an overflow for general conference and other Temple Square meetings.
The building is decorated with original stained glass windows using common designs and symbols of the late nineteenth century. The interior of the building was originally finished in rich detail, including murals on the ceiling depicting scenes and places important in the history of the Church, wood painted to look like marble and fine woods, and new (at the time) electrical lighting. The current interior finishes are from twentieth-century renovations to the building.
Like the Salt Lake Tabernacle and the Conference Center, the Assembly Hall features an impressive organ. The 3,489-pipe organ, built in 1980 to replace an older organ, is decorated with Latter-day Saint symbols such as beehives, sheaves of wheat, and sego lilies. Hundreds of small speakers to aid acoustics are hidden under benches to preserve the historic appearance of the building.
Today, the Assembly Hall is used for lectures, recitals, and free weekend concerts featuring international artists. Its benches accommodate about 1,200 guests. Admission is free to the public for guided and self-guided tours. The building is handicap accessible." Previous description: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/learn/salt-lake-assembly-hall...
