I was born in Park City in 1953 in the Ghost Town era when the population was around 1200 and diminishing. Skiing certainly saved the town from more decline. Nice brief summary of the history. It was and is a wonderful place to visit and live. Thanks
Good job! I've been there a couple of times and didn't know all that. I appreciate how fun and interesting your videos always are. I hope you can visit many more places!
Bit of a correction: wine and liquor (and "strong beer") is sold at the state liquor stores, regular beer is available anywhere -- convenience stores, grocery stores -- seven days a week.
Great video Tom! So much knowledge about everything as always. I knew I recognized this place somewhere, they filmed Soderbergh’s Mosaic there, that’s an awesome limited series by HBO.
Thank you for this informative video. My husband and I work seasonally at National Parks and resorts across the US. We're working in Park City in the Canyons area. Loved learning more about the history of this quirky yet exclusive town.
I lived there a few years ago and it has changed quite a bit but it is still a great place to visit. Loved watching the video and honestly it’s pretty spot on!
Getting the notification that you posted a video gave me the same dopamine release as if a favorite friend just text me. I don’t think there could be a better compliment ?? Love your videos. They make me happy 😃
Just found this channel, on a binge currently... I've always wanted to go to the US, and these videos are gonna make my first trip some day all the more interesting and meaningful, knowing the history of places. Much love from Aus!
Nice little tour. My wife and I have a place there and travel there all the time. Some of the history you mentioned I didn't know. 3.2 beer was all you could buy at grocery stores until about a year ago. Now you can buy regular beer at Smith's.
Love when you travel. You have a vast incredible library of knowledge on so many diff types of places in the world! Very interesting to watch. Your comedy really comes thru makes it all even more fun.
Park City was nearly a ghost town in 1978 when I moved to Utah. I did some handyman work for a woman who bought numerous properties on and near Main St. (nearly every building on Main was empty and boarded up - so she paid bottom dollar) Everyone thought she was crazy to buy all those buildings. Crazy like a fox.
Fun video. Park City is fast becoming a destination for Arts, Performing Arts, and music as a result of the Ski and The Sundance Film Festival. The bad thing is the expensive hotel cost if you lookup the high hotels like the Montage, Marriot Autograph collections, Waldorf Astoria, St. Regis, and Deer Valley and more can run into the thousands per night-- yeah not hundreds :-), but you can find affordable if you look hard enough. I was surprised to see your video pop- up my home town of Salt Lake City. I watch for you in NYC or Miami areas You should do “Speakeasy’s in the NYC, and Chicago or other popular places with speak easy’s
Tom-You are intelligent, informative, humorous and charming. I have watched a number of your videos and I love them all! Hope you get to host a show that incorporates history and travel. I could listen to you all day! Please remember this because I want an invite to the premier. 😊
This is my neck of the woods. I live in Coalville which is a small town just east of Park City. Coalville doesn't have much so we do our shopping, eating at restaurants, and entertainment in Park City. It's a great place to live except it can get pretty crowded during ski season and especially during The Sundance Film Festival. Where I want to go is your neck of the woods. I hope to visit NYC real soon!
One of the best things to come out of the 2002 Olympics were inverted Aerials in the Moguls competition thanks to Johnny Mosley and his dinner roll. If you search it up in RU-vid you can see how groundbreaking he was. Stirred up quite a bit of controversy with the ioc judges
The stairs off the main street, that take pedestrians up to another level of the town, are quite interesting. I think they have a bunch of those in St. John, Nova Scotia too. Makes you wanna explore more, doesn't it?
"Am I dark, Silvio?" * Su mama on the curb clutching her pasta, Silvio's frost bittened fingers removed, living in a broken down shack on the edge of town, Darren Aronofsky's "Requiem For a Dream" redux. Otherwise, a very good informative video Thanks 😃 * Dark Side of Fame, Greenwich Village Levity at Toms during the holiday. Sal, raise your hand and tell how many Beatles are alive today. Sorry, a wee bit dark
That is my mom‘s cousin‘s old house. Cornelius O’Neill the superintendent at Silver King was my great grandfather and I live in Park city now my name is Lisa Meyer!!
My grandmother lived in Ogden so we went there from eastern Oregon every summer for years; We saw a lot of sights like Timpanogus, Bingham copper mine, Lagoon but never saw Park City so TY for this....ps we are gentiles....
Hey, you're in my neck of the woods! I grew up and live in SLC. My dad was an engineer for the phone company (remember those?) for decades and Park City was his beat -- all the old phone lines up there were designed and laid out by him and his team. (My best friend lives up there, too, and another friend works up there at High West Distillery.) He's got Alzheimer's nowadays and I'm a caretaker for he and my mom. Your videos got me through a lot of stressful days this past summer, so thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!! p.s. I've seriously been considering ripping off your idea, starting a channel called "mikepslc," and going around Utah to all of our beautiful National Parks and whatnot. I'll send you some royalties . . . [Tom's winky face and sound effect]
Your brother did a good job. I like he way the video went from day to night. And the Egyptian theater. (Wasn't it Cleopatra who once said: " I love a man in cuniform.")
What da...? You had Mamma Delgado sweating with a grub detail? Look ashamed, Tomas! LOL Great fun watching you, as usual; but I could have lived without the vapid history of South Park; or wherever it was! LOL Hey, who loves ya, man!
The Wasatch Brew Pub was the very first brew pub in Utah. The owners had to work the legislature to change the liquor laws in order for them to brew beer for sale.
Thanks Tom, trying to close the generational gap by comparing Robert Redford to Mathew McConaughey opened it up for me!!! LOL had to Google him, might watch him later, probably won't!!! 🤣 probably be busy picking out zoot suits and sock and sleeve suspenders plus a cane that I can wave at the young whipper snappers!!! Thanks for the tour!!! I learnt a few things and now I need a nap 😴
Haha 2yrs later your getting another comment🤪 I heard the Olympics are going back in 2032. I’ll be relocating there shortly so thanks for the vid even though I’m late to the party🤦♂️😜
