Sadness or Euphoria in Park City?
One of Billy Joel’s best albums is Turnstiles. On that album, there is a track called Summer Highland Falls. One of these days I will analyze it line by line in relation to PC. However, trust me. It speaks to Park City in these times. They say that these are not the best of timesBut …
Do you ever lose faith in the people of Park City?
Reading the Park Record Police Blotter this week, the top entry was about four calls to the Police department about potholes. What? Who would call the police about potholes? My god. Maybe they just weren’t getting the response they hoped for from Public Works. Maybe they personally brought this up to City Manager, Diane Foster, …
UDOT may bring more affordable housing to Jeremy Ranch
To build a wall or to not build a wall — that is the question. In this case we’re not talking Donald Trump. We are talking about a proposed noise barrier being considered by UDOT (Utah Department of Transportation) along I-80 near Jeremy Ranch. As part of the process of adding an additional lane to I-80, …

They may be advertising their property management company, their coffee shop, their landscaping company, or any of a hundred different businesses. However, …
Only in Park City ….
So, it’s -7 degrees and we are walking our dog at the Run-a-Muck this morning. We are just starting out and meet a woman, finishing her dog walk. She wishes us luck and tells us a secret. “You just have to keep a bag of your dog’s poop in your pocket and that’ll keep your hands warm.” …
The problem with surveys…
We remember when we first started following the Snyderville Basin Planning Commission, they were discussing an update to the General Plan. The General Plan guides what development should be allowed. Repeatedly, a survey from a few years before, where a hundred residents showed up, and completed some sort of activity, that then ranked the top priorities, was …
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 …
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 …
