Every time we hear the term “Bonanza Flats” it makes us cringe
If someone wrote “I live in Park Citie,” would you care? Would it influence your opinion of him. Does it matter if he doesn’t spell city correctly? If your government did the same thing, would it influence your opinion of them? How about your local newspaper? Do they have to get it right? As many people are …
Where will the semi trucks chain up?
This week’s snow storms have highlighted an issue. One of the plans for Pinebrook and Jeremy Ranch are two massive roundabouts as traffic enters and exits I-80.

Should I take the Park City bus? An experiment highlights some of the obstacles in bus transit
Yesterday, the family and I decided we were going skiing at the Canyons. There was a Winter Storm Warning, which I suppose, is the perfect time to ski. I asked, “should we take the bus?”. I feared traffic. I feared walking a mile to the Cabriolet lift with two small children. We decided YES … as …
Where is your car going to park after it’s dropped you off at PCMR?

This is the day school should have been closed
The temperature on the dashboard read -18ºF as I passed by the school bus picking up children at 6:39AM. Near where I live, most parents drive their kids to the bus stop in weather like this. As I stepped outside my car, my face froze and my hands hurt after about 10 seconds. My thoughts …
Accuracy of posted Park City teacher salaries
Before Christmas we posted an article on Park City teacher salaries. We decided not to post teacher names but still received substantial pushback on the data’s accuracy. Most commenters said that they always found the numbers inflated. Some said that what we published did not match what they received. So, we decided to reach out to the State …
Transit incentives could give Parkites a reason to ride the bus
As long-time readers probably know, we don’t have a lot off faith in the bus system solving our transit issues. However, we always like to hear new ideas that may convince us and other community members to ride the bus. With that in mind, we received a letter from a citizen who had an interesting …
