Trolley Square, Utahs premiere destination for an incomparable shopping, dining and entertainment experience! Youll find a multitude of shops, services and eateries in the converted trolley carbarns and adjoining buildings. Scheduled events and activities frequent our campus at the only festival marketplace found in the state.
Trolley Square has been part of Utahs heritage since 1847, when Mormon leader Brigham Young designated the area as the Tenth Ward. The ten-acre block later served as fairgrounds, until Union Pacific magnate E. H. Harriman chose the site for his state-of-the-art trolley car system. He invested $3.5 million to construct the unusual mission-style carbarn complex in 1908. Within six years, more than 144 trolleys served the valley from the site until the transit line was discontinued in 1945.
The old and decaying carbarns were saved from demolition in 1972 when they were transformed into Utahs only festival marketplace. Relics from the turn-of-the-century were rescued and used in constructing its unique stores.
Trolley Square was registered as a historic site by the state of Utah in 1973. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. The Square quickly became and remains one of the states most popular attractions, offering unique shopping, dining and entertainment in a charming, historic atmosphere.
Take a moment and relive the Old West by strolling through the historic highlights of Trolley Square.

Trolley car back to Trolley Square Oct. 15, 2018.
Trolley car unveiling October 15, 2018 at Trolley Square in Salt Lake City, Utah. October 15, 1908 was the date Utah Light & Railway Company began using the property as home for the streetcars. The car barns weren't finished by this date in 1908 but the track and overhead wires were in. Through the years the two trolley cars (operated in 1946 as the Trolley Inn diner on North Temple and 300 West, exactly behind where Crown Burger is today. Later owned by various people and was Jack's Café. March 28, 1972, Trolley Square purchases the two trolley cars from John & Beth Purdue for $100. August 14, 1972, State Savings opens a branch in the restored trolley cars. The woodwork was done by Ernie Paetsch. Through the years it was also a video store (Trolley Video ran by the Cullimore family), a deli (Trolley Sandwich), a crepe restaurant (Trolley Crepe) and a restaurant bar (Trolley Wing Company). It was moved to the south parking lot and covered with a tarp for construction of Whole Foods on March 4, 2010. The wood interior was restored with lights. Final restoration will be done in the summer of 2019 on site at Trolley Square. Thanks to Michael De Groote for the information and if you'd like more see pictures from over the years visit:

Family Trip to Hogel Zoo in SLC, UT
This past week my family and I went to Salt Lake City, Utah for a family vacation. This is some video footage of Hogel Zoo that we took and I sped up and edited together for this video (to make it a reasonable length). I hope that you enjoy! Let me know if you'd like more of these. I really enjoyed making something I could look back on with my family. :-)
We also went to the Trolley Square Mall in Salt Lake City, the BYU Museum of Paleontology in Provo and the Natural History Museum of Utah In Salt Lake City. I didn't get much video of any of those though so there won't be videos for those excursions. :-) But if you're in the area I definitely suggest checking them out. They're pretty rad.

Salt Lake City (HD)
Here is a video of Salt Lake City in HD ! Please subscribe :) !
Salt Lake City is the capital and the most populous city of Utah. The name of the city is often shortened to Salt Lake or SLC. With an estimated population of 183,171, the city lies in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area, which has a total estimated population of 1,130,293. Salt Lake City is further situated in a larger urban area known as the Wasatch Front, which has an estimated population of 2,298,915.
The city was founded in 1847 as Great Salt Lake City by a group of Mormon pioneers led by their prophet, Brigham Young, who left behind hostility and violence in the Midwestern United States. They extensively irrigated and cultivated the arid valley and faced prosecution from the U.S. government for their practice of polygamy, which was officially discontinued in 1890. Although Salt Lake City is still home to the headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS, also known as the Mormon Church), less than half the population of Salt Lake City proper is Mormon today.
Mining booms and the construction of the first transcontinental railroad initially brought economic growth, and the city was nicknamed the Crossroads of the West. Salt Lake City has since developed a strong outdoor recreation tourist industry based primarily on skiing. Salt Lake City was host to the 2002 Winter Olympics and is the industrial banking center of the United States.
The modern economy of Salt Lake City is service-oriented. In the past, nearby steel, mining and railroad operations provided a strong source of income with Silver King Coalition Mines, Geneva Steel, Bingham Canyon Mine, and oil refineries. Today the city's major industries are government, trade, transportation, utilities, and professional and business services. The city is known as the Crossroads of the West for its central geography in the western United States.
In 2005, it was found the downtown area was experiencing rapid population growth. The number of residential units in the central business district has increased by 80% since 1995, and is forecast to nearly double in the next decade. The City Creek development of the LDS Church will be adding 300 units in its first phase including the 415 ft (126 m) tall City Creek condominium tower. Allen Millo Associates currently has two projects under construction and two more planned. All 200 units have been sold before construction of a seven-story condominium planned by Wood Property. A residential tower is planned for Trolley Square, and this follows the recent completion of the Northgate Apartments and 12-story condominiums at Gateway with two more buildings finished nearby and the Liberty Metro apartments near Library Square.
Office vacancy rates are low in the downtown region. In response, two new large buildings are being constructed. The first is eight stories and located in the Gateway District, while the second will be 22 stories high and is currently under construction on Main Street. In addition, the historic Walker Bank Building is currently undergoing major renovations that will enable it to achieve Class A office space status. Construction of the Gateway District, light rail, and planned commuter rail service have supported the revival of downtown.
