Mormons build giant mall designed to 'last for 100 years'

In the heart of this western capital's downtown, the Mormon church and mall owner Taubman Centers Inc. are preparing to throw the wraps off a retail anomaly next week: a megamall with eye-popping extras such as a man-made creek, retractable roofs and a fountain that erupts in choreographed jets of water and fire. Costly amenities aside, City Creek Center stands out simply because malls this size aren't often built in the U.S. anymore.

Maybe you are also finding that many of the most hoped-for rewards in life can seem an awfully long time coming.

As we retreat, others can use the wrecking balls of patience, kindness, and love to break through our barriers of isolation," GENTRI writes about their latest music video on their Facebook page.
