Another Example of Why Park City Sucks
This morning I was doing some research and simply typed Park City into Google search. What appears? At the top you get a snow report for Park City (the resort). The whole upper right hand is a company profile for Park City (the resort). Note, it doesn’t look like it’s a paid result. It is the just …
Another Plug for the Park Record Digital Edition
A few months back, I had written about how I started using an ad blocker on my iPhone. This effectively blocked most ads on the Park Record website.
