I was sitting in yesterday afternoon’s Park City School Board public meeting on rebuilding the Kearns Campus, when a person made a very emotional plea. She said that she lived in Highland Estates and that last year’s School District tax increase almost caused her to sell her house. She said that if there is another …

You may know that I love the concept of autonomous cars. I have have written countless articles on them and suggested that Park City is missing out on a huge opportunity in making testing the vehicle (snow and extreme sun make it difficult for the driverless car — which we have a lot of). With that …

As many of you know, I live in Jeremy Ranch. It’s an interesting place. It’s where trails, Salt Lake, and Park City meet. While to the greater Park City community, dogs have dominated the headlines. In Jeremy Ranch, it’s far different. Enemy #1 is the speeder. While I have read three to four editorials in …

I saw this today and all I could think of was Mister Car Wash’s plea for a larger sign at their location on 224. Except, this is a lot more funny and kind-of-sorta not safe for work.

Here’s the overview: Utah was one of the last states to allow interracial marriage. Utah was also one of the last states to vote FOR prohibition. Utah was one of …

I had a conversation a while back with a friend who was lamenting how Park City had changed. I said, yeah the growth is really killing us. She said, “It’s not the growth, it’s just the people.” It was one of those comments that sticks with you. I wasn’t sure I agreed with her, but …

Earlier I was writing a story on Park City’s new head of transportation, Alfred Knotts. According to Tahoe Transportation District’s website, he is currently Transportation Projects Manager for The Tahoe Transportation District and will be starting his new position in the next few weeks. What’s interesting is Park City Municipal’s press release regarding hiring Mr …

We’ve heard something interesting from a few people this week. The topic of leadership keeps popping up — and not in a good way. We’ve heard comments like “there is no leadership in Park City” and “we used to have strong people in elected positions where have they gone?” The question is interesting but so …
