A Sign?




My office sits almost in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City. /we are kind of urban, or at least it feels as if the city is trying to grow and be more urban then it actually is...or maybe I am just in denial. The building my office is in used to also house the Mexican Consulate which I thought was pretty exciting from the Mexican flag on the building to the crank calls and threatening call we would get from all over the State bur mostly Utah county about how bad the immigrants were and how the caller was watching us and if we did not raise the American flag higher then the Mexican the caller was going to “come down there” and make things right.

Well,last year the building was sold and the Mexicans moved out and we have been the sole renters but a couple of months ago we got word the new owner had a deal with an Asian agency of some kind who was going to rent the rest of the building—since then the upper floors have been inching toward renovation. Seriously most of the work seems to be being done my one little African senior citizen. That's OK with me it's nice having the entire parking lot to ourselves and its been quiet up there but I have to admit it is a little lonely being the only tenants in the building. Well, something is happening I am not sure what because construction is not picking up from what I can tell but someone is noticing. Yesterday when I came into work we had a new tag on the building—seems like someone or someones are getting nervous. A sign of thing to come?
