Show Hopefully, a great many ; Parkitcs will be spending a lot , t time in Provo during the nexi three days supporting the mighty Park High Miners as ihcy battle their way to the f State 1 - A Basketball Championship. Cham-pionship. The tournament gets under- -way Thursday at 10:00am when i he Miners meet Tintic in the Quarter Finals. A win against Tintic Thursday will advance Park City to their Semi Final match at 7:30pm Fridav: and a victory Triday vi 1 1 send t he M iners to the Championship match Satur-. '. dav at.6;l()pm. All games wilt be played at the Mariott CeriieFon the Brigham Young University campus. From Park City. Provo is a brief hOminutc drive along one )f ; two routes. For those who prefer' trie .speed and. direct ness j)f freeway travel, ,: lake 1-80 : iti Salt Lake, and i hen i he Provo - Los Angeles exit onto I- j 5. Travel south 40 miles, and take the BYU exit ai Provo." From there, feel vour way to the Mariott . : Center. r:-;:';::N:;;;''vi-:,:l; I For those choosing the more scenic path, take Highway 40 io Heber. then 189 around A Deer Creek Reservoir and ! down Provo Canyon. At the mouth of i he canyon, the road veers left into Provo and parallels the BYU: campus. " "Although the -distance along ihe scenic route is icss.' travel in the canyon is slow, making driving time comparable to the freeway. Although Provo is the home of the State Mental Hospital I and possesses several other - landmarks and points of iniercsi. it is not an important siuhiseeing town. With the exception of Center Street, most of the business areas have been heavily developed along latter-day strip commercial commer-cial lines. It is, with the possible exception of its sister ci t v Orem. t he absolute queen ol' i he franchises. Virtually evorv fast food, automotive or retail chain in the state grace 'he streets of Provo with their neon and plastic signs. It is a haven for those interested in a quick bite, but not neccssawly! fjimous for intimate dining and unusual cuisine. r In scott ling out the town last ; week, we noticed a Mexican Restaurant called "La Car-ret Car-ret a" on Center Street and a "Hun )pean Rest a uran t" in-; side a candv store v directlv opposite. Since the: European: Restaurant seemed " to also contain . a fine collection of vintaue autortiobiles, it could be an interesting lunch srjot heiween games. Other thjtn he franchises, we noticed several Chinese restaurants and a number .of sandwich shops along University Ave. ' Because motorists in Provo f seem to1 be loiikirig out more f r D n nv a nd Marie than for.; he ' 'other gityV" driving is" ' ;i r.i V.'iY lift and da it icr-ousl icr-ousl Hxcessive driving and left turns' slimtld ? be ' avoided if possible. ' ' s " ? ;.. Once well nourished and at; the Mariott CcWaTanV''.' should plan to see ; several' rtf lie other games being played each day. All teams ; at this ' stage are fierce competitors , and quality basketball clubs. All the tournament matches are expected to be lough, challenging and exciting. ?
