This Week's Update March 5th

The work on excavation of the original Tabernacle continues.  As you can see from the picture below they have cleared out most of the dirt and you can see the total interrior of the foundation and area that the building occupied.  They spent most of last week under small shelters as it was stormy working on the north end which is the left side of the picture.  They were in the area that looks like a enterance.  They continue to sift through the dirt looking to see what can be found.  Still no major activity on the main Tabernacle builing, I do see people walking in and out on occasion.  As I said in a previous post, Nu Skin has made an arrangement with the Church so that the Nu Skin Parking terrace to the west of the site will be demolished and new under ground parking will be build for Nu Skin to the west across what is now 1st west, also a parking terrace will be build on the corner of 1st south and 1st west which will connect to the Nu Skin underground parking.  The word now is that the Church will build underground parking on the property south of the site and 1st south will be closed off.  Nu Skin will have a large green space and park between the current highrise and the new parking and most of the block to the west. So when you will enter the area to both Nu Skin and the Temple it will be all walking area similar to SLC downtown between the Church Office and the SLC Temple.  (No official plans have been released)
