Show tfk Ten O'clock F: Whistle wwB bv David Fleisher y I I What Park City needs is ... Dear Restaurant Owners : Park City is blessed with many fine restaurants. On any given night, you can get anything in this town from an enchilada to Veal Oscar. But we're missing something. And I wish someone would act now to improve im-prove the situation. You can't get a pizza at three o'clock in the morning, and you can't get tempura any time. To put it simply, the town needs an all-night pizza place, and a genuine Japanese restaurant. We have fine pizza in Park City, but unfortunately you can only eat it during regular business hours. However, there are many people, locals and tourists alike, who don't eat during regular business hours. Consider how many of us go to bars at night, and some even stay until closing, which means after midnight. And what happens if you have this overwhelming desire to eat pizza? You can't do it, unless you go to 7-Eleven and buy a frozen one; but it's just not the same. Some of us don't even have ovens. I think an all-night pizza place on Main Street would do a landmark business. At one time, Park City had a Japanese restaurant (Pleasant Pheasant, Pheas-ant, Pheasant Pleasant, whatever it was called), but it's no longer here. Japanese food is very good, plus you can take your shoes off when you dine. If prepared properly, dinner at a Japanese restaurant can be a memorable memor-able experience. Ideally, the same person should open an all-night pizza place and a Japanese restaurant, thereby satisfying both needs. Dear Merchants: I recently spoke with several out-of-towners about shopping in Park City. They told me they had a wonderful time here on their vacation, and couldn't wait to come back next year. They found the locals friendly and helpful, and loved going to a different restaurant each night (Note to restaurant owners: Of course they didn't get Japanese food, nor did they have pizza after midnight ) . And then we got around to the sub ject of shopping. One member of the group told me, "Park City has some nice shops, but it doesn't have a men's clothing store." It certainly doesn't, and I think it's high time we had one. I think there are enough men in this town who would support it. And by a men's store, I mean just that a store that caters only to men. We have clothing stores for women and babies. Why not one for men? Dear City Council: You're not going to like this, but I'm going to say it anyway. And you've heard it before, recently in this column as a matter of fact. Instead of holding your regular business meeting this week, I suggest you get in your cars and ride around Park City. Why'.' Consider the trip as an on-site inspection regarding the conditions of our roads. For some reason, and I don't know why, potholes have taken up full-time residence here. I've seen maintenance crews getting rid of them, but I cau l for the life of me understand why they keep coming back. As I walk up Main Street 1 hear the |
