Did I just read that?

First line of an article in the New York Times (especially confusing because I thought I was reading the Deseret News: "Across the street from Tiffany and other luxury stores at the City Creek Center, the Salt Lake Temple stands as a symbol of the commercial investment of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/10/realestate/commercial/mormon-backed-mall-breathes-life-into-salt-lake-city.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

I'm not sure that's what they meant to say. The temple isn't a symbol of commercial ANYTHING.
