This is the day school should have been closed
The temperature on the dashboard read -18ºF as I passed by the school bus picking up children at 6:39AM. Near where I live, most parents drive their kids to the bus stop in weather like this. As I stepped outside my car, my face froze and my hands hurt after about 10 seconds. My thoughts …
Expanded Run-A-Muck parking is a welcome addition
On any given weekend morning, Run-A-Muck, Park City’s first off-leash dog trail will see hundreds of visitors. It’s one of the shining successes of Summit County in recent memory.

Audio from Today’s “Office Hours” — About the Park City School Threat
Below is the audio from today’s “Office Hours with Dr Conley.” It’s a little hard to hear in places, due to the Visitor Center’s layout. Due to the subject matter, I wanted to get it out as early as possible. So, hopefully you can get the information you need. It was a doozy of a meeting. If …

Do We Really Want a Diversified Economy?
A friend of ours was visiting with a long-time Park City resident. He, like many of the people who have lived in Park City since the 1960’s, talk about how it’s not the same place it used to be. He goes a step further, though. When people ask him if they should move to Park …
