Park City thrives on charm, tourism, and reputation but beneath the ski-town image lies a battle that could define its future. Teachers, EMTs, grocery clerks, and young families can’t afford to live in the very community they serve. A proposal at Kimball Junction promised affordable homes, daycare, and even intergenerational living. It was rejected. Officials cited density and traffic, but critics say the real issue is cultural resistance, a refusal to change. Is Park City becoming a place only for second homeowners and visitors, or can it still be a real community for the people who keep it alive?

Every Wednesday evening, Millcreek comes alive with fresh produce, artisan goods, and local flavors as farmers and makers gather at the community market.

What started as a single log cabin café on skids grew into one of Utah’s most enduring dining landmarks, now run by the fourth generation of the Maddox family. From house-made rolls with strawberry butter to fresh peach desserts and farm-to-table beef long before it was a trend, Maddox has built its legacy on quality and connection.

On a quiet stretch of Price’s Main Street, two historic eateries are redefining what it means to honor the past. At Club Mecca, a onetime 24-hour gambling den now serves pub favorites fried in beef tallow, while just doors away, Farlaino’s Cafe dishes up old-world Italian classics in a building unchanged since 1913. Together, they prove that history can taste remarkably fresh.
