The fundamental problem with “Woodward Park City” at Gorgoza
You may have heard that POWDR Corp wants to build an indoor recreation facility at Gorgoza Park. It would be called Woodward Park City.

Religion’s Revenge on Park City
You probably know that KPCW, Park City’s local radio station, recently changed frequencies from 91.9 to 91.7. What you may not know is what happens when you leave “heathen” Park City with your station set at 91.7. If you head to SLC with your dial set at 91.7, once you near the bottom of the canyon, you just may …
Transit Center or Transient Center
If you frequent Kimball Junction, you may have noticed an increase in the number of panhandlers. Particularly interesting is the mom that sits on the way out of Smith’s parking lot with her three kids. Perhaps it’s just the summer, but it also seems the number of hitchhikers is up too. There’s a different feel to …

What BREXIT Can Teach us About Clichés in Park City
If you haven’t heard (or paid attention to) the fact that Britain is leaving the EU, I would suggest you check out your Schwab Retirement Account. So, the citizens of Great Britain have decided to leave the European Union after 40 years. That’s their own personal decision, and I don’t have a lot to say …
We are now the “Sign Nazis”
Last night we talked about political signs and the need to have them taken down (when they are in violation of the law). Today we filed our first formal complaint against political signs. It’s actually quite easy thanks to Summit County’s great reporting tool. So, yes, you too can join us in our witch hunt against illegal …
Election Sign Violations
During the last election, we wrote about election signs that violated Summit County and Park City laws. It is illegal to put election signs in the “public right of way.” This basically means most signs you see along the side of the road violate election law. In the case of past election cycles, we really only …
