Thank you Park City teachers for a great year
My oldest kid “graduated” Kindergarten today. Like many things in Park City, it was a little over the top. There was a scheduled performance with songs and many of the formalities you probably witnessed when you graduated high school. That said, my Kindergartener was broken up. He didn’t want to leave Mrs. Martin’s class at …
Want your very own e-bike to use around Park City?
There are few things I’ve purchased in the last few years I enjoy as much as my e-bike. I wouldn’t want to go without or take a step down to the ones rented by the City/County. In my opinion, it is the best way to beat the traffic and get around the Basin. If you’ve …
Doing the work in Park City…
I’m from Kansas. One of the stories I always remember is that Bruce Springsteen would come through Kansas City and his 1970’s concerts would go until midnight at Memorial Hall. It was real. It was epic. It was four hours of great music, which is unheard of in today’s age Springsteen put in the work …
The Park Record is doing a disservice to our new High School Principal
We were excited to see that a new Principal was hired for Park City High School. As of August 2018, Roger Arbabi will become the new Principal at PCHS. What we gather from the Park Record article was that Mr Arbabi currently is an Administrator in the country of Colombia. He has 25 years teaching …
The Park Record’s site metering is an ugly distraction… but there is a work-around
As of Wednesday, the Park Record instituted “Site Metering.” This means that you can only look at three articles per month before the Park Record blocks you (unless you provide your email address to them). Frankly, if we were an advertiser, we would be upset. But we suppose that’s their business. That said, forcing users …
Another option to keep our community gathering spot at New Park
Yesterday I wrote about the public frustration with their inability to effect change on development around the Basin. The Park Rag received a comment from Park City City Council person Steve Joyce speaking to how the city was letting the public speak with their pocketbook on the Treasure project. After reading his comment I thought, …
Summit County, Park City, local businesses, and even the Crandalls need to be aware of where this is heading
I’ve watched over the past few months as a series of events seem to be unfolding around us. A common theme is that development is happening and people feel powerless to stop it. Not only that, it seems like development is happening and the rules have changed in ways to support INCREASED development. Case in …
If this press release about Deer Valley doesn’t terrify you, it should
Masquerading as a story on Parkrecord.com, we noticed a press release from Deer Valley. It appears that the NEW owner of Deer Valley, Alterra Mountain Company, has named it’s first CEO (Rusty Gregory). According to the news article press release , “Gregory will focus on establishing the newly formed Alterra Mountain Company’s culture and developing the …
Buck up Park City. It’s going to be OK.
It’s strange times in Park City. There is anger in the air. There is depression in the air. All apparently because there is no snow in the air. Around town you hear it from the locals. If it’s not a malaise brought about by lack of snow, it’s a fear that the snow is going …
