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 …
Park City parents… The New Yorker Hits it head on…
Park City parents, ignore this at your own… or should I say … your kid’s own peril.
Want your kid to attend an Ivy League school? Have them write their admissions essay on Costco.
While most college application deadlines have come and gone, it’s never to soon to start thinking about next year. With that in mind, I saw this story about Britney Stinson, a high school senior who wrote her college admission essay about a trip to Costco with her mom. This essay, along with everything else she has done, enabled …
Death to the Term NIMBY Because We are All NIMBYs
This morning I had a fleeting thought about the acronym NIMBY. You may be familiar with it. It means “Not In MY Back Yard.” Most recently in Park City it was commonly used during the school bond debate to describe those people living in Prospector or Park Meadows who apparently didn’t want the bond to …

Another one of those, “Not About Park City” posts… but I couldn’t resist. This diagram quickly tells you who you should vote for. Perhaps someone more creative than I (or is it me?) could do this for our local elections.

Other times we key in our phone numbers at places like Fresh Market or Petco to get a discount. Yet what happens to that information behind the scenes? I had always assumed that …
Should It Be HARDER to Live in Park City?
Days like today are interesting. They are hard. It’s hard to drive. It’s hard to get to work. It’s hard to shovel. It’s hard for the plows. It’s hard to get your kids to school. It’s hard to get to the slopes. It’s hard. Yet, from a community perspective, it’s also almost perfect. You can’t yell at …
We Love East Creek Ranch
Recently we’ve been seeing this advertisement a lot in the Park Record … Yet something kept bothering us. What’s with the garages at each end of the house? Then we figured it out. So we decided to fix the ad for our friends at Woodside Homes. And yes, this is an example of why …
