Ogden For Sale

Thanks for the post delts. It is very encouraging to see so much activity in downtown Ogden again. Hopefully Mayor Godfrey will stay in office and keep his vision for redeveloping the city rolling.

delts145 · #**163** Posted **Sep 12, 2007, 11:46 AM**

Hey Gbb, yeah, I would definately like to see Godfrey remain in office. It would seem he has been one of the most youthfully agressive mayors for Ogden in recent history. I'm also very excited to see the connection of the ski industry and downtown develop even further. Whether that means a gondola or not as proposed, I think Ogden has an extremely bright future for tasteful and attractive development.

Matthew Godfrey, the Ogden mayor, is anxious to show a pair of guests his refurbished town. Who better to show it than the man who turned this place upside down, converting a blighted old railroad town into an outdoor adventure mecca that is gaining national attention.

And here are the pics I promised (they were taken with my camera phone, so I'll get some better ones next time I'm up there. Delts - I removed them because I wanted to resize them all, it just took me a while to remember to do that.

I went and checked out the Junction (the arcade, skydive part) while I was in town this last summer visiting the 'rents and came away somewhat disappointed. The project has nothing for pedestrian access from Wash Blvd. (at least when I was there). The whole thing has a tacky, cheap-Vegas look. Perhaps the worst part is the "bar" in there. Its a cave in relation to the rest of the area, has white walls, and has brighter lights than the bowling alley area.

gbb · #**180** Posted **Nov 19, 2007, 5:52 PM**

There are definitely parts of the project that could have been done differently, I agree with you there. However, it is still a big step in a positive direction for downtown Ogden. Once the construction has finished there will be much better pedestrian access into the block from Washington Blvd.
