I’m Sticking By My Call for an Economic Downturn
A few days I posted entitled The Canaries in the Coal Mine are Telling Us To Take Notice indicating that we may be in for a rough economic patch ahead. From the responses in comments, via email, and in stores around down I can tell FEW PEOPLE share my view. It was almost as if I posted …
Should It Be HARDER to Live in Park City?
Days like today are interesting. They are hard. It’s hard to drive. It’s hard to get to work. It’s hard to shovel. It’s hard for the plows. It’s hard to get your kids to school. It’s hard to get to the slopes. It’s hard. Yet, from a community perspective, it’s also almost perfect. You can’t yell at …
PSA: Beware US Marshall and IRS Phone Scams
We’ve had a report of calls from an 801 area code, claiming to be the US Marshall’s Office related to an outstanding warrants, demanding that fines be paid.

Another Example of Why Park City Sucks
This morning I was doing some research and simply typed Park City into Google search. What appears? At the top you get a snow report for Park City (the resort).

Another Plug for the Park Record Digital Edition

That Looks Tasty
There’s a picture of an example of a Park City school lunches going around. If it does accurately represent an average school lunch, then I can see why the EATS group is petitioning the Park City School District for better food. Processed chicken nuggets, BBQ sauce, chocolate milk, kiwi, and blue applesauce (I think). MMMM …
As Seen at Walmart…
This is how you know Sundance is close at hand.
The Canaries in the Coal Mine are Telling Us to Take Notice
Hang on. It’s going to be a bumpy ride. This morning two things happened. The first was that Walmart announced it was closing 154 locations in the US (none in Utah, though). The second was that Fastenal, the foremost maker of parts used in construction, missed its earnings estimates. Anytime Walmart decides to close stores, …
Please Consider Running For a Local Government Office in 2016
Many of us gripe about things in our community. Perhaps you think the School Board members could have handled the bond election better. Maybe you think all our leaders do is talk about fixing transportation but never do anything. Possibly you don’t like the way the dog issue has been handled. It Could be you believe that …

Three hundred Hyatt hotels were impacted by malware (malicious computer software) that was capable of collecting credit card names, numbers, expiration dates and verification codes according to Engadget. One of those hotels was the Park City Hyatt Escala Lodge. If you or your family stayed, dined, used the spa, or bought gifts at the Hyatt …
