Feeling Hot Hot Hot
I’ve been doing some research on historical temperatures around Park City to better understand how Park City weather has changed over the past decades. Using NOAA data, the longest continuous set of data from a weather station seems to be from Parley’s Summit. Data goes back about 28 years. The hottest day on record was September …

The New Whole Foods Tap Room Is Likely More Than the Developer Is Indicating
As many people know, a developer wants to restructure a development agreement for an area across from Ruby Tuesdays called “Canyon Corners” in order to put in a new Whole Foods (and other retail).

In Jeremy Ranch, it’s far different. Enemy #1 is the speeder. While I have read three to four editorials in …
Is Park City School Board The Most Important Elected Office in Park City and Summit County?
Last night the Park City School Board held a public hearing and voted to approve the 2015/2016 Budget. The school district will spend $60 million next year. How many members of the public attended the 6PM hearing? Zero. Was there anything controversial to discuss? I suppose it depends on your view. Two things stand out: …
