This is in response to Kent Topham's comments regarding the proposed development of property at the old Cottonwood Mall site.
He stated that the development is out of character for Holladay as a community. He said Holladay is, and has always been, a special place.
Holladay is no more "special" than any other community in the Salt Lake Valley, including Kearns, West Valley City, Murray, Midvale or Magna.
He went on to say that Holladay has managed to maintain its unique character while other areas have changed dramatically.
I recently took a drive through the heart of Holladay at Murray Holladay Road and Holladay Boulevard. The whole area has been bulldozed and rebuilt with no character whatsoever in my opinion. I didn't even recognize where it was.
