Time to Start the War on Cats
Now that Park City has effectively ended the War on Dogs (bravo) by opening up regulations on off-leash dogs, we suppose it is time to turn our attention to another animal that may actually be wreaking more havoc in our ecosystem. No, this animal isn’t biting you at Round Valley. It isn’t knocking you off …
Too Big to Vail
News in Park City has been skewed towards the fight between Vail Resorts (MTN), the city of Park City, and local businesses that include the “Park City” name. Some clever bastards even added a TM to Park City Hill (Bravo…For those about to rock…we salute you). Word even has it that the Chairman of Vail, …
Where are your kids going to work? What does the future of Park City work look like?
What of my favorite authors is Seth Godin. He has a unique way to looking at the world and distilling it. Rarely have I read a post as good as Seth’s piece on work. For Park City it provides ideas on everything from the direction our kids should take, to school, to what future jobs in Park …
Vail Should Give Up the Park City Trademark Fight
It’s pretty simple. Vail needs to give up the Park City trademark fight. It’s not because of the public pressure on Vail, with over 100 businesses contesting its trademark. It’s not the “concern” over a boycott of the Epic Pass by Utah locals. It’s not that former mayor Dana Williams has come out of the woodwork …
Park City Strikes Back

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. The Gorgoza Park area currently includes a sledding hill that lies between Summit Park and Pinebrook. You’ve likely seen it on your right, as you drive down I-80 from Parley’s Summit. …
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 Will Skullcandy Sale Mean for Park City and the Boyer Tech Park?
During the past few weeks, ground broke for the first building built specifically for a tech company in the Boyer Tech Park . Wouldn’t you know, yesterday that tech company was sold. The Verge is reporting that Skullcandy, a Park City based technology company, was purchased by Incipio for $177 million. Incipio is best known as a maker of …
Is this stuff for real?
So, in Jeremy Ranch, we are experiencing more coyotes than I can remember. By experiencing I mean, seeing them around the open space, hearing them at night, reading about attacks, etc. My neighbor even saw one hanging out on my lawn one evening. That said, this is their land, and they are doing their own …
