Park City Food and Wine Classic is Finalist for USA Today’s “Top 10 Travel Award”
We like the Park City Food and Wine Classic. There are always some interesting classes and events during the 5 day festival. Our only complaints have been that the classes don’t last long enough. If you’ve enjoyed it as well, you may want to vote in USA Today’s “10 Best Readers Choice travel awards competition.” …
Want Your Child to Opt Out of State Standardized Tests? Here’s how.
Last year we wrote about why some parents want their children to opt out of standardized tests. If you are interested, the high School has a web page on the subject. Opt Out Page
Why Wasn’t Treasure Mountain Listed as a Site to Remediate in 2007?
We’ve been searching the Park City School District website over the past few days to see if the EPA’s report on Treasure Mountain Junior High’s (TMJH) soil was posted. As you may know, the EPA sampled the soil late last year. The School District has said the results aren’t good; therefore, the soil has to be …
Has Anyone Seen the EPA Soil Report on Treasure Mountain?
We’ve been waiting to get our hands on the EPA’s soil report for Treasure Mountain. We emailed Dr Ember Conley a few days ago and asked whether we needed to GRAMA (government record request) request it. Her reply was: Hi, We will have an interview on KPCW on Tuesday, April 7th and a release of …
Park City Residents Should Video Tape Law Enforcement When Possible

Park City Brewing is the Type of Business We Want To See Succeed
Late last week, Park City brewing officially opened their doors to customers. They serve four beers out of their brewery on Rasmussen Rd (across from Burt Brothers in the shopping center). While The Park Record did a good job of providing the backstory on the brewery and the people behind it, we believe it missed …
Response to Our Story on Vail Forecasting Numbers
Earlier today we wrote a story on how Vail does not forecast visitor numbers. We stated that we as a community should not take Vail’s policy of non-forecasting to mean that there won’t be additional visitors. We said that we needed to use common sense to ensure that adequate parking and traffic mitigation accompanied additions …
Is There a Lack of Leadership Around Park City?
We’ve heard something interesting from a few people this week. The topic of leadership keeps popping up — and not in a good way. We’ve heard comments like “there is no leadership in Park City” and “we used to have strong people in elected positions where have they gone?” The question is interesting but so …
University of Michigan to House “M City” a 23 acre Mini-Metropolis to Test Driverless Cars
By now you are probably familiar with our LUST for the driverless car and the impact we feel it could have on both transportation and economic diversity in the Park City area. While it’s something we wish we would do here, it looks like Ann Arbor, Michigan is taking the first step. This summer a …
What We Have to Understand about Vail Forecasting Visitor Numbers
In an interview on KPCW with a Park City Planner about approving Vail’s new Canyons/PCMR Gondola, the planner noted that Vail said it would not increase the number of visitors with the Gondola. This apparently was one of the reasons it was approved with no increased need for parking. When we heard that, we couldn’t believe it. However …
