This blog picks up where my sister left off two years ago. She gets credit for the creative blog name. Technically our mother deserves the actual credit for the name, because she suggested it in honor of her favorite country music group, Little Big Town.

According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, "little" and "big" are antonyms. Based on the definition, most would think that it would be impossible for one town to fall under both of these categories. No town can be little and big at the same time and is usually classified as one or the other. Park City, UT is the exception.
I attend Treasure Mountain Junior High which begins each day at 7:30 am. On the first day of school I left my house at 7:10. I thought this would give myself plenty of time to get to school and not be tardy. I was wrong. I turned the corner where Treasure comes into view and I was faced with a tremendously long line of traffic. I assumed “traffic” only happened in big towns like Los Angelus or New York City but maybe Park City isn’t as small as I thought it was.

Having said that, the Police Blotter for Los Angeles most likely contains information about murders or burglaries. Park City’s police blotter on the other hand, includes things such as complaints made about dogs off leash or a moose seen crossing mainstreet. Reading these kinds of things in the newspaper reminds me of how small Park City actually is.
Park City isn’t confused as to whether it is little or big, it just so happens to be both, which I consider pretty cool. Park City is the ideal place to grow up, not too little and not too big. It is my "little big town".
