PARK CITY'S FIRST JULY 4TH

7/3/2014

 
Picture this...It is May 1872 and George and Rhonda Snyder break through the forest (just behind where the Yarrow is now)  to behold an incredibly beautiful mountain valley.  George exclaims, "it looks like a park."  Thus the name Park City.  As the first July 4th rolled around and with few provisions, Rhonda took old clothes and a baby blanket and stitched together an American Flag.  Come July 4th, 1872 Park City celebrated Independence day for the first time.  Now mind you, there weren't very many people, but those Mormons knew how to put together a real feast and still do. :)

Thank you to the pioneers.  Thank you to the Indians that once lived here. Thank you Abraham Lincoln.  It was all you did that gave us this great little town that is 'heaven on earth.'  THE REPUBLIC OF PARK CITY. :)  Finally, thank you locals.  People all over the world talk about how friendly you are.  You give Park City a great name.  FASTAXI loves PARK CITY

    I am Diania (pronounced Di Anna and I love Park City and so will you..  Born and raised in El Paso, Texas I never envisioned a place so wonderful existed.  Before I started FASTAXI, I owned Deep Powder Transportation and learned about the trials,troubles and fun of being a taxi driver in Park City and being a guest, trying to get a ride.  With over100 taxi companies, it's amazing, sometimes there are no taxi's available, especially after 2 a.m.

    I know this space is suppose to be about me but what makes Park City so wonderful is the locals, the culture and the magnificent beauty.  The people here are genuinely nice.  They aren't pretending.

    But a word of warning:  DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE IN PARK CITY.  Our main road is called the gauntlet for a reason.  Ask any local and they will tell you...if you drink and drive in Park City, you are going to have a very bad encounter with our police department.
