this winter can now mark their calendars for the debut of 20 new runs at the resort’s East Village expansion The existing terrain will open for the season Dec East Village will be ready for skiers about two weeks later according to communications director Susie English but snow and weather and construction schedules could shift,” she said “But [we’re] really excited about the new lift It’s going to take guests right from that new base village up into existing terrain.” Deer Valley will open 300 acres and 20 runs of new skiable terrain along with three lifts and 500 more parking spots The opening comes a full year sooner than originally planned Deer Valley plans to debut another six lifts the East Village expansion will more than double the size of the resort Park City Mountain Resort will open both Mountain Village and Canyons Village Nov Woodward Park City hasn’t yet announced its opening date The new Snow Park Village project at Deer Valley was discussed at length in a Park City Planning Commission meeting on October 9 The weekly planning commission meeting discussed the proposed new village and gondola system in Deer Valley’s Snow Park Lodge area A Special Meeting of the Park City Planning Commission will be held on October 30 to address more details and public concerns The Snow Park Village will be a new hub for the popular skier-only resort It is anticipated that Snow Park Village will provide gondola access to Silverstar as the current plans stipulate that it needs to be granted A gondola has been discussed at Deer Valley for almost 30 years but this project is finally becoming a reality The gondola station at Snow Park Village would offer connections to Silverstar the new East Village development (formerly known as Mayflower) and a parking lot off Interstate 40 at the new Deer Valley expansion The Carpenter Lift will be realigned to make space for the gondola and a new beginner ski pod will be installed adjacent to the new gondola alignment serviced by a new circulator lift (Lift 7) and restaurants and offer more than 1,977 visitor parking spaces Day parking will be limited to 1,360 parking spots while the remainder will be for hotel guests and ski clubs the hub will have a bus terminal in hopes that some visitors can be diverted onto public transport The new hub is hoped to alleviate traffic congestion in Park City by encouraging visitors to park outside and take gondolas into the ski area affordable housing will be built within the city limits which will be connected by public transport to the new hub at Snow Park Village Creating an aerial linkage will be particularly important in light of the upcoming Winter Olympics at Salt Lake City in 2034 The Snow Park Village plans will be reviewed in depth on November 13 and December 11 The new hub is anticipated to be completed by December 2025 the gondola infrastructure will not necessarily be in place by then The ski and snowboard site with intelligence (Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Garrett Lang shows guests the layout of the new ski area that will be part of the Deer Valley Resort Deer Valley Resort didn’t venture too far off-piste when it came to naming the base at the center of its newly expanded terrain the ski resort’s eastern portal off Highway 40 will now be called — wait for it — Deer Valley East Village “Deer Valley East Village is a long-anticipated project that will serve as the heart of the expanded terrain at Deer Valley Resort,” Gary Barnett the founder and chairman of Extell Development Company which developed the ski area with the intention of one day connecting it to Deer Valley we’ve curated a village that will redefine luxury and offer unparalleled amenities for our guests Our partnership with Deer Valley signifies our dedication to creating a destination where luxury and accessibility harmoniously come together.” Deer Valley and Extell announced the nearly decadelong lease in a joint presentation in August after five years of negotiations the expansion will add 3,700 acres of terrain and 16 chairlifts nearly tripling Deer Valley’s current size we are proud of our legacy as a top-tier ski destination and we’re staying true to our founding principles set over four decades ago,” Todd Bennett “This expansion improves our resort’s accessibility and enriches the guest experience with additional world-class amenities We will honor our history and strengthen our ties to the community as we expand over the next several years.” Most guests interested in exploring the new terrain will access it through Deer Valley East Village which has been designed as a full-service base and the site of 1,700 homes and condominiums Though the skier services center is not set to open until 2026-27 it is expected to offer its own ski school Plans also include 1,200 parking spaces for day use and at least three hotels totaling 800 rooms Deer Valley has a reputation for being among the most bougie ski areas in Utah, if not in the United States. When it came to picking a name for the new base, though, Deer Valley’s brand and marketing team chose the groomer route, as it were, by opting for brand recognition and wayfinding over something more snappy and adventurous. Deer Valley spokesperson Christine Spinkston said the resort consulted with a marketing agency to “ensure the name reflects unique geographical features and aligns with Deer Valley’s legacy. “This emphasizes our commitment to excellence and the creation of a distinctive experience at Deer Valley East Village as we continue to evolve and grow thoughtfully.” For e-edition questions or comments, contact customer support 801-237-2900 or email subscribe@sltrib.com sltrib.com © 1996-2025 The Salt Lake Tribune Extell Development Company announced the sellout of the private residences at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley Located in the new Deer Valley East Village Grand Hyatt Deer Valley is slated to open this November marking the debut of the Grand Hyatt brand in Utah and the first luxury hotel within Deer Valley East Village Extell is the company that was initially behind the expansion of Deer Valley Resort in what was initially known as the Mayflower Mountain Resort Deer Valley acquired the resort project from the real estate developer while Extell will continue to build hotels a range of luxury ski-in-ski-out homes as well as a commercial downtown area that is envisioned to be similar to Park City’s Historic Main Street “I’m proud to announce that all 55 of the available private residences at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley have officially contracted,” said Sheila Hall Associate Broker at Summit Sotheby’s International Realty and lead sales agent for Deer Valley East Village “The combination of Extell’s track record and the excitement surrounding the Residences at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley has set the tone creating even more buzz around the expansion project Other residential offerings are currently available with future luxury projects coming down the pipeline This is just the beginning for the East Village.” Situated 40 minutes from the Salt Lake City International Airport Deer Valley East Village will anchor Deer Valley’s major terrain expansion and provide a modern base and gateway to 3,700 acres of expanded ski terrain—more than doubling the size of the resort and making it one of the largest ski resorts in North America The expansion features 16 new chair lifts and a 10-passenger gondola The Village’s many year-round attractions will include fine dining a children’s center and one of the largest ski beaches in the world “The sales success of the Residences at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley is a testament to the market’s anticipation of Deer Valley East Village,” said Gary Barnett Founder and Chairman of Extell Development Company “As the first for-sale development within the Village buyers recognized the value of investing in what will become a world-class destination attracting the world’s best brands in terms of lodging We expect Deer Valley East Village to become the crown jewel of Utah and attract visitors and residents from around the world.” Extell is underway on additional luxury residential transforming the resort experience along Deer Valley’s eastern footprint The alpine village is expected to bring 2,000 new jobs and is the first resort development expansion project of its kind since 1981 Extell is going from destroying affordable housing in NYC to doing the same thing in Utah when will they stop trying to line their pockets with millions and focus on the majority of people who cant afford to live Luxury development instead of affordable housing is not sustainable Extell needs to get their priorities straight and stop hurting the people who call NYC home We need to end this housing crisis not spread it Extell is expanding the housing crisis to Utah The people don’t need another luxury development Extell is taking its evil operations from NYC to Utah… haven’t you done enough!?!??

Those onboard, known as the Mayflower Pilgrims, helped lay the foundations of the US. It is thought 25 million Americans descend from the 102 passengers of the Mayflower – with many of the leading figures of the group from Scrooby in north Nottinghamshire. A Nottinghamshire County Council grant of £37,400 helped fund the £60,000 art installation – known as the Scrooby Rock – to commemorate both the passengers of the Mayflower and the Wampanoag people who are native to the area where the Mayflower passengers landed Measuring an impressive two by five metres The Scrooby Rock is an exact replica of the Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts which is reputed to be where the Mayflower voyagers first set foot It also features all the names of those 102 voyagers praised the creativity and community spirit of Scrooby for helping make this project a reality he said: “Not only does this sculpture help tell the story of Nottinghamshire’s fascinating history but it also demonstrates the determination and togetherness of the community “We hope it will also help the Mayflower voyagers and the Wampanoag people to be remembered for generations to come.” The County Council’s Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Asset Management “Our investment in this memorial was important as it will help to encourage even more visitors to the area Scrooby Parish Council led the project by arranging local donations and sponsorship as well as commissioning local artist Michael Johnson to create the artwork the generous donations from the local community and the wonderful local artist we have been able to make this project happen.” Nottinghamshire companies that provided generously discounted services and the many local companies that gave materials heavy lifting and their time to help install the sculpture.” held on Saturday 7 September was officially opened by the local county councillor for the Misterton area “This sculpture will be a permanent feature in Scrooby for both villagers and visitors from across Nottinghamshire and all over the world to enjoy.” Residents and visitors had the opportunity to view the sculpture up close led a guided tour and discussed the inspiration and creative process behind his work In a press release sent to Powder just minutes ago, Alterra has announced a major 3,700 acre terrain expansion for Deer Valley Resort UT that will be serviced by 16 new lifts a new 10-person passenger gondola This major expansion appears to envelope the planned Mayflower Resort by luxury development company Extell Deer Valley will use the planned Mayflower village as a portal for the new terrain "The complete project will unfold over the next three seasons with a significant portion of the new lifts and trails set to open as early as the 25/26 winter season Deer Valley will offer 5,726 acres of ski-only terrain spread across 10 mountainsThe Deer Valley investment is in addition to the $500 million capital program announced by Alterra earlier this year to enhance the guest and employee experience across its portfolio of 17 destinations.“Alterra Mountain Company is committed to investing in large-scale projects that will deliver differentiated experiences in incredible places and this project is exactly that,” said Jared Smith “Deer Valley has long been a world-renowned resort and this project will offer guests more of what it has always been known for - legendary service and industry-leading culinary offerings." Computer rendering of the planned village The project will bring Deer Valley to a whopping 5,726 acres of ski-only terrain spread out across 10 mountains This confirms that Deer Valley will continue to prohibit snowboarding at the resort The new village will have more than just skiing amenities: "In addition to the ski-specific amenities the new village is slated to have over 800 hotel rooms across multiple properties 250,000 square feet of retail and commercial space and 68,000 square feet for recreation center the multi-faceted development is expected to create approximately 2,000 new Deer Valley job opportunities."

Subscribe to our newsletter and stay connected with the latest happenings in the world of skiing Be one of the first to try our new activity feed Mayflower Resort will be the first new ski area in the U.S It was a banner snow year in Utah, with all six of the ski areas in the mountains east of Salt Lake City breaking their snowfall records The timing couldn’t be better to announce the addition of a brand new ski resort in the area—the first non-private ski resort to be built in the U.S Mayflower Mountain Resort, which is in the process of being built, is situated just east of Deer Valley Resort in the Wasatch Back—on the eastern side of the Wasatch range. The entire development—ski runs, retail, lodging, employee housing, parking—is being built from scratch over the course of the next 20 years by Extell Development Company But skiers need only wait another season before the resort’s first lifts begin to turn “We are shooting to do a soft opening in 2024-’25,” said Kurt​ Krieg the executive vice president of resort development for Extell they’re expecting to have two to three lifts running with 10 lifts in operation in time for the grand opening the following year In total, the ski area is expected to have 130 runs and 4,100 acres of skiable terrain serviced by up to 17 lifts—including what is expected to be the longest six-pack in North America. For comparison, Deer Valley Resort has 103 runs and 2,026 acres served by 21 lifts Mayflower’s ability to have more terrain serviced by fewer lifts is thanks in part to the resort’s overarching vision and phased construction Krieg says historically ski areas are piece-mealed together—one or two lifts are added at a time—making the building process less efficient “The transitions from top to bottom are seamless … We are fortunate with a blank canvas to put all the lifts in within a short time span.” build-from-the-ground-up approach also allows the resort to combat some of the issues that have plagued ski areas in recent years Krieg says they’ve categorized the Mayflower’s high altitude and north-facing landscape as ski terrain and are planning to take advantage of the cold temperatures in the Wasatch Back to do a lot of snowmaking “When we were acquiring land we were also acquiring water rights,” said Kreig “The ski resort has been planned to have the most sophisticated snowmaking system in North America.” Krieg says Mayflower will boast over 1,200 day-skier parking spots and will be extremely walkable and then everything else is pedestrian based.” The ski area is less than 40 minutes from Salt Lake City International Airport off Route 40 and bypasses the congestion that has plagued skiers headed to Park City Mountain and Deer Valley Resort The move would almost triple Deer Valley’s ski-only terrain and provide an access point that bypasses the congested road to Park City If no deal is reached and Mayflower operates as a standalone resort Krieg says it will still connect to Deer Valley via a connector lift that is part of a 1982 land-lease agreement between Deer Valley and Extell skiers would need a separate lift ticket to travel between resorts Mayflower is projected to have four on-mountain restaurants an ice skating “ribbon,” and the largest ski beach in North America There will be a day lodge with ski rentals and restaurants along with up to nine hotels—one of which will have a portion of its room reserved for members of the military and their families—and 1,800 residential units The development includes plans for 600 units of workforce housing a healthy amount given the hot topic of affordable housing for ski resort employees When it comes to the feel of the ski village Krieg compares Mayflower to Beaver Creek or Northstar “We are working on three primary hotels and residential with it to ensure the village core has its vibrancy,” he explains “We know that longevity is not only important from an environmental and regional perspective As for right now, the soft opening is scheduled for the start of the 2024-’25 season, but much is dependent on the availability of materials, labor, and of course, weather. You can follow Mayflower’s progress here Testing skis and winter gear is hard work (just ask our boot testers)—but someone's gotta do it Todd Bennett pointing out the new East Village terrain PARK CITY, Utah — TownLift had the privilege of getting to be some of the first people to make turns on Deer Valley’s new expanded East Village terrain lead a group of 10 skiers around some of the new terrain Deer Valley’s East Village is situated at the base of a significant terrain expansion where the resort plans to introduce more than 3,700 acres of new ski terrain and offer ski access across four new peaks connecting the existing terrain with the newly added Deer Valley terrain you can only see about 20% of the terrain however you can see the skiable terrain really goes way back.” TownLift was pleasantly surprised with the depth of snow for the end of March Over 100 ski runs will need to be named in the coming years as the terrain expansion comes to life Bennett also shared that the expansion will feature a 4.7-mile green run making it the longest in Utah, ahead of Park City Mountain’s “Home Run”, which clocks at 3.5 miles long, according to Ski Utah The TownLift News Desk specializes in delivering concise Our expertise is in covering local stories that matter most to the Park City community Post A JobView All Add Your Organization Don’t miss a beat in the Park City community—get the daily scoop delivered straight to your inbox Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Sign up for our TownLift Daily Newsletter and get today's top local news stories in your inbox TownLift is a web and mobile-based Entertainment & News media outlet providing Park City and Summit County Utah with Breaking Local News & Community Updates https://townlift.com WZUM is the Pittsburgh Jazz Channel!

The longest, a 10-passenger gondola, could continue down from Park Peak to the Snow Park Lodge, possibly replacing the existing Silver Lake Express. Here’s Deer Valley’s current trailmap, for context: And here’s what it will all look like put together (sans the connector gondola down to Snow Park, which the resort announced after releasing this map - which I modified with the red text - in August): Which is all grand and exciting, and will make Deer Valley, at 5,726 acres, larger than Alta and Snowbird combined (5,114 acres – yes, Canyon Bro, I know it’s not the same caliber of terrain, but most people are not as cool as you, so focus on staying mad at me about the LCC gondola). All that new terrain ought to be welcome in a Wasatch that’s choking on its own popularity. But a more transformative piece of this project could be a set of massive day-skier lots planned at the base of the new terrain. The 1,200 parking spots, hard by an all-new pedestrian-oriented base village seated off US 40, would help lure skiers away from – and hopefully help to mitigate – the clotted hell of Park City traffic. “The new base village aims to improve accessibility for the resort and will contribute to the reduction of traffic in the town of Park City,” a resort press release reads. Here’s what skiers driving down from Interstate 80 currently have to navigate to access Deer Valley’s main parking lots, at Snow Park: That’s a lot of single-lane roads and chokepoints. Here’s how that commute would transform with the new parking lots in your GPS, barreling straight down four-lane US 40: This streamlined driving alternative, combined with Deer Valley’s plans to cover the Snow Park lots with yet another walkable base village (some parking will remain, underground), could help Park City evolve away from the automobile-centric rush hours that often make it feel more like you’re driving into a suburban outlet mall than an idyllic mountain town. In some idealized future, most non-resident ski traffic could evaporate from the Wasatch, absorbed by a network of trains and aerial lifts climbing up from Salt Lake City. But in the meantime, there are other ways to manage the auto-hegemony that is bogging down America’s greatest collection of ski areas. Deer Valley, by building a bypass around town to the slopes, will make its hometown more livable and its mountain more accessible. We need more thinking like this all over the West.

The simple answer is probably shuttlebuses but a complicated psychology underlies the relationship between Americans and parking The subtext of opposition to a gondola up Little Cottonwood Canyon is a collective disbelief that private vehicles ought to be kept out of certain places that it may make more sense to leave them eight miles down the road than park them at the base of the Collins chair But cars don\u2019t belong in Little Cottonwood Canyon and they don\u2019t belong in Park City \u2013 at least not on the scale that we\u2019re cramming them in now most non-resident ski traffic could evaporate from the Wasatch absorbed by a network of trains and aerial lifts climbing up from Salt Lake City there are other ways to manage the auto-hegemony that is bogging down America\u2019s greatest collection of ski areas by building a bypass around town to the slopes will make its hometown more livable and its mountain more accessible We need more thinking like this all over the West Below the paid subscriber jump: why a proposed B.C along with 300 acres of newly developed ski terrain opened Tuesday morning at the new Deer Valley East Village Keetley Express is the resort’s first six-person bubble lift It drops skiers near the bottom terminal of the Sultan Express lift on Bald Mountain The Aurora lift provides access to circulating beginner terrain will open later this season to also service green trails allows skiers to access East Village from higher up on the mountain Deer Valley President and Chief Operating Officer Todd Bennett said the East Village opening “represents a transformative moment” for the resort The new chairs provide skiers with access to 20 new runs The East Village opening is the first phase in a series of expansion plans that will eventually double the size of the resort The resort will celebrate the grand opening Thursday Deer Valley treats and commemorative stickers to mark the occasion Highway 40 and has 500 day-skier parking spots The opening of the new base area comes more than a year after Deer Valley struck a deal with developer Extell to operate the terrain which was previously envisioned for a new resort called Mayflower Deer Valley has more than 2,300 acres of terrain available for skiers this season Single-day lift tickets and IKON reservations are sold out through Jan After supply-chain issues in mid-2022 and blizzards this winter Mayflower Resort rental apartments that hit construction delays will have occupants this month Leases at two of the four buildings in the Pioche apartment complex will begin April 17 All but 20 of the units at the two buildings open to tenants this month through property manager CooperWynn Prices range from $1,500 for an unfurnished studio to $3,000 for a furnished two-bedroom apartment according to Extell Utah Vice President of Development Brooke Hontz She also said people can email info@piochevillageapartments.com to get on a waiting list for rentals CooperWynn is compiling a list of people who want apartments They’re the first long-term rentals after one building opened to short-term tenants as a trial over the past winter The other two Pioche buildings are expected to include 120 units each and open in fall 2023 Extell Utah Executive Vice President of Resort Development Kurt Krieg met with the MIDA Board Tuesday He said construction of a hotel that will offer a military discount has continued slowly but steadily through the snowy winter MIDA is the Military Installation Development Authority a state governing body that oversees the Mayflower project construction crews will face a new challenge: flooding “We're sitting on roughly 140-plus inches of what is called compressed or settled snow,” Krieg said we have a tremendous amount of water sitting above us and at this stage we are preparing for the onslaught of the snowmelt coming off We think there's about a three-week period that we’ll be managing to ensure that we don't have flooding.” He said crews are prepared for snowmelt with sandbags Krieg said contractors have completed the fifth floor of the hotel above ground and it’s expected to reach full height by this summer Construction could be complete by late 2024 22 condos included in the hotel complex are under contract as of this week 13-story hotel is estimated to cost $420 million Planners confirmed another project, the base complex — which includes the hotel, condos, commercial space and restaurants all connected by the same foundation — is set to become the largest building in Wasatch County it's in earlier construction phases and not vertical yet Plans approved last year also include more than 100 condos The complex will be situated between the base area ski lifts Skiing at the Mayflower isn’t expected until late 2024 During a late March discussion about the state of the local ski industry, Deer Valley President and COO Todd Bennett said negotiations for his company to operate Mayflower lifts are still underway with Extell.

The owner of a mobile home park located just outside of Arcadia is seeking to redevelop the property with townhomes, according to a staff report given earlier this month to the Los Angeles County Regional Planning Commission reached a settlement agreement with all prior residents of the mobile home park earlier this year and the property is now vacant.  The 56 mobile homes will be replaced with a twelve three-story buildings featuring 86 condominiums KTGY Architecture + Planning is designing the Live Oak development, which would include a mix of two- and four-bedrooms ranging from 1,319 square feet to 2,052 square feet in size.  Five of the condominiums would be voluntarily set aside for purchase by moderate-income households Other project features include an approximately 7,500-square-foot central pocket park and parking for 194 vehicles The project site is located just over one mile east of the intersection of Live Oak and Santa Anita Avenues, where Lennar Corp. announced plans earlier this year for a similar townhome development As Deer Valley Resort shares details of its construction plan for a new base village with hotels restaurants and retail one thing is increasingly clear: parking access will go down as the buildings go up on busy days when street parking is utilized Deer Valley can hold around 1,700 cars in Snow Park But the project’s five-year construction timeline will drastically cut that number in some years when only 400 spots will be available in Snow Park told the Park City Planning Commission Wednesday he expects skiers to naturally migrate to the new East Village base in Wasatch County due to the disruptions “I think people who are coming from the valley will obviously quickly understand that going and getting off [U.S Highway] 40 and onto a surface lot is going to be a good experience particularly with all the lift development that’s occurring currently over in that area,” Budge said particularly as you get parking down to 400 spaces here in Snow Park that’s going to naturally move that segment of the skier base over to East Village.” Deer Valley has 500 parking spots and three operating three lifts at East Village this winter The resort also plans to offer parking and free shuttle service to East Village from Jordanelle State Park parking in East Village will grow to 1,200 spaces as construction ends lifts and an additional 500 acres of skiable terrain on that side of the mountain the resort is encouraging skiers to utilize public transit specifically from the Richardson Flat park and ride resort regulars like Jeb McCandless expressed skepticism about Deer Valleys parking predictions “I’m real concerned about parking," McCandless said "I really hope that you guys deal with that properly Losing spaces is going to be much more inconvenient than anyone can imagine also worried about losing easy access to Snow Park “What concerns me is that you’re really pushing for people to take buses," she said I don’t know about you guys but I’ve had two broken ankles and I can’t get into my ski boots Lower Deer Valley resident Meredith Berkowitz said the resort should implement a paid reservation parking system due to the cutbacks She and others also expressed concerns about construction noise during the planning meeting Wednesday Deer Valley is hoping to break ground on the project by next summer FAIRHAVEN — Tales of a missing body of a Mayflower Pilgrim and a newly-built bridge that ruined lives swirl around the waterfront neighborhood of Oxford Village along with Castle Avenue and Massasoit Avenue Poverty Point was anything but during the 1700s The quaint neighborhood that overlooks New Bedford Harbor was dotted with large homes primarily lived in by sea captains during the times of the bustling whaling industry.  John Cooke, a Pilgrim who came over on the Mayflower in 1620 was 13 years old when he arrived in Plymouth with his father Mayflower II pics: Mayflower II stops in New Bedford on way back to Plymouth He was the last known surviving male Pilgrim of the Mayflower when he died in 1695 The headlines in the 1902 edition of The Constitution: Atlanta Georgia screamed “Cooke’s Body Badly Wanted Remains of Youngest Member of Pilgrims is Missing.”  crafted the headlines as sort of a spoof advertisement calling for the return of Cooke’s body after it supposedly went missing Hathaway claims that Cooke’s body was dug up and somehow wound up wrapped in sail cloth and hidden high in the rafters of a fisherman’s shed who apparently had stored the body while he was out at sea.  “I was afeared thet some of those durn boys would steal him So I wrapped him up in a piece o’ sail cloth an’ put him up under my shed roof,” the fisherman said according to Hathaway’s article.  Curious SouthCoast: Have you seen the storybook scene on this local abandoned building? A mystery worth saving Disputing the claim that Cooke was buried at Burial Hill, Henry B "Without some record there can be no certainty where John Cook’s grave is located but judgment cannot be rendered in favor of the Oxford tradition." notes that Cooke owned burial ground property in Acushnet.  "In the light of this record there is strong reason to suppose that Cooke was laid in the point purchased by him and transmitted to his descendants Opposed to this is the tradition that he was buried at Oxford on a lot which he never owned and in which he is not known to have had any interest and where there was never an inscribed stone marking any grave," Worth wrote Just what really happened to Cooke's body and where his remains are buried continue to be debated today.  when the town decided to build a memorial to Cooke at the Oxford burial site the grounds were dug up to make way for a large boulder that would bear a plaque in his honor.  four decaying coffins were dug up – two held the skeletons of men and the other two held the skeletons of children She was 89 years old at the time and told the newspaper she lived in the area as a little girl She remembered there were about 20 graves in the cemetery including Fenno Winslow who drowned in 1810 The bodies of the two children uncovered during the excavation for the Cooke memorial were never identified and were said to have been reburied that same day elsewhere on the site got its nickname sometime after 1797 when a narrow drawbridge connecting Fairhaven and New Bedford was built it cutoff the shipyards to the north along Oxford Village Several shipyards packed up and moved operations south of the bridge eventually settling in what would become Fairhaven Center where whaling and shipbuilding again prospered.  With shipbuilding gone from Oxford Village the area wasn’t as prosperous and that is how some believe Poverty Point got its name.  Curious SouthCoast: Drastic measure to stop massive 1859 New Bedford blaze haunted fire chief the rest of his life According to the book Old Time Fairhaven: Erstwhile Eastern New Bedford, by Charles A that part of town possibly got its nickname after two events in the very early 1800s The book states the term Poverty Point was used in real estate deeds as far back as 1810 It seems Robert Bennett “the leading man of the village” suffered a great financial disaster at the time wrecked off the coast of Cape Hatteras – only five survived The books says while only three of the dead were from Oxford Village urban legend contends the wreck left behind “many widows with children” and that’s how the neighborhood came to be called Poverty Point Walking tours of Poverty Point are conducted by the Fairhaven Office of Tourism and are led by historian Christopher Richard Many of the homes from the 1700s are still standing in the neighborhood today points out the homes owned by “the first Japanese person to live in America the first man to sail around the world alone the founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the woman who had a school named after her while she was still its principal,” according to the tourism website.  SAM Magazine—Park City, Utah, Aug. 24, 2023—Alterra-owned Deer Valley has partnered with Extell Development Company to operate the planned skiable terrain that was part of Extell’s adjacent Mayflower Mountain Resort project adding 3,700 acres of terrain that will connect to Deer Valley’s existing network of trails nearly tripling the skiable area to a total of 5,726 acres of ski-only terrain “Deer Valley has entered into a long-term partnership agreement with Extell to operate all mountain functions in the new terrain expansion,” said Alterra spokesperson Amelie Bruzat “The new terrain will fully integrate into Deer Valley’s trail map and mountain operations Extell will continue to manage and develop the real estate and hotel projects.” Extell is developing a resort village that will be accessed by a new portal off of U.S It will include construction of more than 800 hotel rooms across multiple properties and 250,000 square feet of retail and commercial space It will also include 1,200 new parking spots and a new skier services facility offering additional ski school and food and beverage amenities for Deer Valley guests The development is expected to create approximately 2,000 new job opportunities The additional terrain will be spread over roughly 130 trails served by 17 new lifts including a 10-person gondola the complete project will unfold over the next three seasons with a significant portion of the new lifts and trails set to open as early as the 2025-26 winter season It’s the first terrain expansion at Deer Valley since 2007-08 when 200 acres were added on Lady Morgan Mountain The Mayflower base area—which will now be Deer Valley branded according to Bruzat—is currently under construction after decades of planning Mayflower has been called a “military-focused ski resort” by local Park City news outlet KPCW due in large part to developers working in conjunction with Utah’s Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA) which promotes development of underutilized military land in the state MIDA acts as the municipality in a project area and as the economic development authority both in distributing legislative appropriations and issuing bonds MIDA has issued multiple bonds totaling more than $250 million to help fund the construction of Mayflower Mountain Resort with a bulk of the funds going toward a 387-room hotel and conference center in the resort village—aka a morale welfare and recreation (MWR) hotel for military—in partnership with Wasatch County and EX Utah Development LLC (a division of Extell) The hotel is to include a block of 100 rooms

Explaining it to a local news reporter, he says; “So your activity during the day will be focused on the ski beach watching the skiers come down and really partaking it really shifts after après and goes to the village core where you have fire pits and your retail and your outside seating it looks like the new MMR is genuinely starting to take shape with the first trails being cut With several of those runs North-facing and slotted expert terrain and a majority of the resort planned for intermediate and expert terrain this may be the start of something special We’ll be sure to follow along as this story unfolds Free-riding soul skier who after four decades is still inspired by fresh turns and big mountains!

tend to deer hides and furs that line the inside of the wetu; or scrape and maintain the inside of a mishoon with a quahog shell.  a Gay Head (Aquinnah) Wampanoag tribal member announced on Facebook a boycott against the museum unhappy over the direction of its programs and approach to Native American history.  More: Steamship Authority: M/V Gay Head back in service in time for its peak season "Plimoth Patuxet has been trying to erase their Wampanoag Indigenous Program — they want to erase 40 years of work that Wampanoag people have done for them," Madison said in a phone interview.  Other Wampanoag people are equally unhappy "They wanted to move in a way where they were making money," said Tia Pocknett, a Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe member who once worked at the museum "They wanted to be the Wampanoag Pilgrim Disney." One tribe leader is now asking Plimoth Patuxet executives to reach out to Wampanoag tribes to consult with tribal leaders Another leader wants the museum to stop sharing any aspects of Wampanoag culture "There's a level of understanding and respect that should be paid to us," said Cheryl Andrews-Maltais chairwoman of the Gay Head (Aquinnah) Wampanoag Tribe "That is a minimum threshold that these entities should be doing." The homesite has been open during the summer at the museum since 1971 also features a 17th century English village; the Mayflower II a replica of the ship that brought the Pilgrims to Plymouth; and the Plimoth Grist Mill The Mayflower II recently underwent an $11.2 million restoration The museum receives grant support from organizations such as the Mass Cultural Council.  public relations and events manager for Mass Cultural Council said in an email that the organization hasn't been involved in conversations between Plimoth Patuxet Museums and the Wampanoag Tribe regarding the boycott Madison, a language teacher at the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe's Immersion School, said tribal support for the museum has been waning for years but declined sharply after the museum changed its name from Plimoth Plantation to Plimoth Patuxet in June 2020 Patuxet is an Algonquian word for the area where Mayflower passengers first established a home base in 1620, Madison said.    Algonquian refers to a widespread Northeast language group that includes the Wampanoag Tribes in southeastern Massachusetts More: Future ownership of Pocasset Mobile Home Park subject of trial was part of the museum's overall promise to expand the museum's Wampanoag Indigenous Program and to invest financially in the homesite Instead, the homesite has fallen into disrepair and the Wampanoag Indigenous Program was eliminated More: Mayflower II passes through the Cape Cod Canal "Plimoth Patuxet is viewed as this wonderfully engaging socially aware organization," she said we are a community of people saying Plimoth Patuxet is not who they say they are."  "We recognize how important it is to reflect the history of local and regional Indigenous people Plimoth Patuxet has been a leader for decades," Donovan said in the statement "While the museum strives to do so via our hiring practices educational programs and engagement efforts Our goal is to foster positive and productive relationships with the Wampanoag and other indigenous individuals and communities throughout the region.” Wampanoag alliance formed to ask questionsTo address their concerns with Plimoth Patuxet as well as other Indigenous issues throughout the state, Madison and tribal members from the Mashpee, Gay Head (Aquinnah) Originally called the Wampanoag Advisory Council, group members came together in 2012 during the planning of the Plymouth 400. Plymouth 400 was planned for 2020 as a commemoration of the anniversary of the Mayflower voyage, the founding of Plymouth Colony and the historic interaction between the Wampanoag and English peoples a Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe member, left her job at the museum in 2011 she said in a recent interview that Plimoth Patuxet officials began moving away from a bi-cultural approach to programming — and eliminated the word "Wampanoag" from much of its museum applications.  More: Plimoth Plantation to change name to include Native Americans Peters visited the homesite The area looked like it hasn't been maintained She theorized that a lack of maintenance was due to a lack of investment upkeep and the Indigenous boycott.  "It doesn’t look like it’s even lived in," Peters said.  who worked at Plimoth Patuxet between 2010 and 2012 as an interpreter and later as a manager and site supervisor said she attended meetings with directors and museum officials where there was a direct intention to eliminate bi-culturalism at the museum.  More: Chief Vernon 'Silent Drum' Lopez remembers his 100 years "The year 2021 would have been the 50th anniversary of the Wampanoag Indigenous Program," said Kerri Helme a Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe member who resigned from her job at the museum in 2020 the last Wampanoag Indigenous Program director Without Coombs, a Mashpee Wampanoag Tribal member, interpreters such as herself were often reprimanded by museum officials when they shared historical facts from an Indigenous perspective.  "We would inform (visitors) that the first Thanksgiving was actually celebrated by the English in 1636 after the massacre at Mystic," Helme said "Things like that would get people written up." Coombs' absence degraded the quality of historical accuracy and cultural competence at the museum "They really bounced him around in his last few years and that was a mistake," she said "He was the last thread holding that place together." The Times was unable to obtain contact information for Coombs More: 'Golden Dragonfly' becomes first Wampanoag woman on Bourne Select Board a member of the Gay Head (Aquinnah) Wampanoag Tribe and a former high school faculty member in Maine as director of Algonquian exhibits and interpretation Lopes will lead the further development of the museum’s "well-established Indigenous programs exhibits and interpretation of the region’s Indigenous homeland history and culture," according to the announcement Lopes is a member of her tribe, Andrews-Maltais said but he lacks a long-running connection to his community.  He didn't participate in cultural aspects of the tribe until recently "People need to learn from those who have first-hand experience of learning our traditions and cultures at the knees of their grandparents and great-grandparents," Andrews-Maltais said A request to a museum spokesperson to speak with Brad Lopes did not elicit a response More: Three Sisters Farmers & Crafts Market a chance for Wampanoags to be self-sufficient Andrews-Maltais was also an interpreter for several summers between 1975 and 1980 ran the Wampanoag Indigenous Program, along with Ella Wilcox-Thomas Sekatauan The duo ensured interpreters were immersed in research projects and they traveled "far and wide" to find traditional materials to create structures such as wetu's she said. He didn't participate in cultural aspects of the tribe until recently "They knew our traditional values and history and there was an all-out effort to ensure that Wampanoag contact history was not only clear but it was accurate." tribal historic preservation officer for the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Plimoth Patuxet was ahead of the curve on racial equity and inclusion efforts with Wampanoag leaders at the museum's helm, such as Nanepashemet who founded much of the Wampanoag Indigenous Program; Linda Coombs an author and historian from the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) who Weeden said worked at the museum for roughly 30 years; and Coombs More: 5.7 acres in Aquinnah, a Kennedy donation, a Wampanoag ancestor all part of court case While tribal members from Indigenous communities like the Nipmuc Nation he said the museum's focus should always revolve around Wampanoag history.   "The Plimoth story is unique to Wampanoag people. To change the name of the program and dismantle internal staffing and management is horrible," Weeden said Layoffs hit the homesite interpreters in 2020In 2020 just after the museum announced its new name Helme was asked to change the Historic Patuxet Homesite layout from a hodgepodge of different structures to a seasonal layout where visitors could view what a Wampanoag homesite would look throughout the seasons More: Native Tribes on Cape and Islands may join $590 million national opioid settlement Part of Helme's task was to design new text panels to teach visitors about traditional Wampanoag clothing and information about the collection of structures But directly after Helme finished the text panels the museum laid off all homesite interpreters for the winter of 2020 interpreters were making roughly $1 over minimum wage "The real reason for the panels was to replace us living interpreters," Helme said.  had interpreters been let go for the winter the winter was spent in professional development making and repairing artifacts for the museum and other tasks More: Are Native American-themed school mascots harmful? Local Natives, schools, experts disagree Helme said interpreters held fundraisers for new staff facilities interpreters and program directors had worked and eaten lunch out of a dilapidated trailer and adjacent garage She said the space was akin to "potting shed." while interpreters from the Pilgrim side had a beautiful break room," she said "We raised a bunch of money through a lot of donations but I suspect they used all that money for the Mayflower II repairs."  a former interpreter at the 17th Century English Village said he didn't get to the Wampanoag side of the museum often but knew about the uncomfortable conditions Historic Patuxet Homesite interpreters were forced to work out of.  "They had this trailer — I would call it a dump," he said "They had offices on the second floor of what I would call a garage and I think they were treated almost like second-class citizens there Pocknett said similar promises to upgrade facilities were made in 2012, when museum officials said they would create a Wampanoag-focused which would include improved facilities for indigenous interpreters "I saw colored sketches of the plans — blue prints," she said "They presented the plans to us during the winter and then that never happened." There were problems for a long time at the museum stayed because they were fearful of how Wampanoag people would be portrayed.  More: Erosion uncovered a Wampanoag grave: Why protecting the burial ground tells a larger story "We were afraid of how our story was going to be told if we weren’t there to tell it," she said.  the tribe's break with Plimoth Patuxet was traumatic and created unrest throughout Wampanoag communities. It was a great place to be when programming was run by Wampanoag people "I can't see it ever being like that again until things drastically change." the museum should stop sharing any aspects of Wampanoag culture This is a fight of intellectual property," she said "It might feel uncomfortable to have these conversations Contact Rachael Devaney at

this one before and who is paying for it have led to many rumors about what is happening at Deer Valley I decided to investigate Deer Valley’s expansion plans and determine the extent to which the public may be paying for this massive project The Deer Valley expansion project, named “Expanded Excellence,” is a multi-faceted multi-year project that will include the development of two new base areas and more than double the amount of terrain available to skiers—and not snowboarders—at Deer Valley Part of this expansion is focused on the development of the Snow Park Base Area which will include a revamped base area and The East Village also includes a massive terrain expansion that will add 16 chairlifts and a gondola Deer Valley will offer 5,726 acres served by 37 lifts The resort will still maintain its snowboarding ban plans on bringing a similar approach to the new terrain and base areas Senior Communications Manager for Deer Valley our aim is to enhance the overall guest experience While the expansion will accommodate more visitors we are also focused on maintaining the Deer Valley brand pillars and a commitment to exceptional guest service Our targeted makeup of skier origins will continue to include a mix of hotel guests we are exploring expanded regional transit options with our partners to provide convenient transportation for our guests and staff.” who in turn is responsible for the operation of the ski area Extell is responsible for operating the base area and both Extell and Deer Valley contribute to the funding and implementation of ski area improvements “The partnership between Deer Valley and Extell Development is founded on a shared vision of creating a world-class base village and enhancing the Deer Valley experience,” Spinkston wrote The Deer Valley East Village is not Extell’s first foray into the ski industry told SnowBrains via email: “Extell previously owned and operated the Four Seasons Vail and appreciated the mountain luxury hotel environment/class thus the village and associated hotels were a natural fit.” which was created by the Utah State Legislature in 2007 to “optimize underutilized federal property and incentivize economic development that supports all branches of the military and enhances the military installations within the state,” according to Kristin Kenney Williams who told SnowBrains this in email correspondence The biggest difference between MIDA and a more typical land manager like a city council or county commission is that MIDA must be invited in by the local jurisdiction “Project areas require formal consent by the landowner and the MIDA Board,” Williams explained MIDA does not have authority over the entire Expanded Excellence project The Snow Park Base Area is being overseen by the City of Park City and Wasatch County remains involved in other aspects of the project “While working with county or city planning and permitting officials also involves collaboration MIDA brings a unique perspective and specialized knowledge to the table,” Spinkston wrote The Air Force still owns the land that the military recreation facility will be built on  Williams wrote: “I would proffer the idea that the MRF project area is the most scrutinized publicly-reviewed and visible project due to the amount of current development underway in the state,” further adding that the MIDA Board meetings and Design Review Committee meetings are all “publicly-noticed and well-attended with public comment taken.” Deer Valley joined in 2023 after negotiating a partnership with Extell and MIDA’s board can decide to issue bonds without direct input from the electorate including direct contributions to the campaigns of Senator Stuart Adams Though some of MIDA’s board members hold elected office they presumably would still retain their board seats if they were not reelected to their other state and local positions were Senator Adams or Senator Stevenson not to win reelection to the Utah Senate Beyond the Grand Hyatt Deer Valley, MIDA recently started another venture into the ski industry at Sundance Mountain Resort near Provo “The [Sundance] project area will facilitate the creation of a 63-room ADA-design specific lodge where wounded veterans transitioning from hospital and rehabilitation centers will be able to visit year-round with their families and other primary caregivers to learn techniques they can apply to home life,” Williams wrote MIDA is partnering with Storyteller Canyon Investments Deer Valley currently owns a little over 100 employee housing units and has plans to construct 50-100 more units Park City’s Lower Deer Valley Neighborhood Plan states that “opportunities should be explored to provide additional workforce and/or affordable housing within the development of the Snow Park parking lots  She added: “Employee housing is a priority for Deer Valley We recognize the importance of providing affordable housing options for our workforce to ensure a vibrant and sustainable community Our goal is to develop housing solutions that meet the needs of our employees fostering a diverse and inclusive environment.” but does not include a role for the East Village Deer Valley shared that “while the Winter Olympics may present opportunities for collaboration and infrastructure enhancements Expanded Excellence is primarily focused on meeting the needs of our guests and community in the years to come.” The Grand Hyatt Deer Valley is set to open in late 2024 and the new terrain is slated to open in late 2025 or early 2026 Expansion and development are natural parts of the ski industry But when public land or public money becomes involved careful scrutiny of the project and what public good it may bring is required before approving and funding such projects The sheer number of characters in this story makes it difficult to keep track of which groups are ending up with public money and what that money is being used for With Deer Valley ticket prices currently approaching $300/day there are natural questions about the need for public money in this project at all when the public money and approvals for a project are granted without direct input from Utah voters the justification for such expenditures becomes murky and that’s not even considering Utah’s tax-paying snowboarders resorts that discriminate against snowboarders should be prohibited from receiving public funding 2019—Extell Development Company is building a new mountain resort located right next to Deer Valley Resort outside of Park City Extell has purchased roughly 5,600 acres of private land in recent years including the 2,300-acre Mayflower property where Mayflower Mountain Resort and Village will be built.The property has been master planned for a base area village with a total of 3.2 million square feet of space which will include a 300-room military recreation facility along with three other luxury hotels 250,000 square feet of commercial and retail space and a 68,000-square-foot recreation center The convention center is slated to be built first and will include 100 subsidized rooms with discount rates for active duty and retired military personnel and their families.The military piece is key Wasatch County has designated the Mayflower Resort area as one where Utah’s Military Industrial Development Agency could build a recreation hotel The MIDA designation returns some property tax to the developers in exchange for reduced fees for military personnel FROM THE SAM JANUARY 2016 ISSUE: A True adventure centerAccording to reports the plan calls for several new ski lifts and about 1,000 acres of ski terrain But Extell founder and chairman Gary Barnett said "We're actually in the midst of studying exactly what kind of skiing we can provide and I think will determine that in the next several months," Barnett said.Extell has already begun building some roads and clearing for others The company says it could be ready to open some facilities for the 2021-22 season.Deer Valley Connection A notable aspect of this new development is the connection—physically and financially—between Extell and Deer Valley Extell's purchase includes land that Deer Valley’s Mayflower and Sultan lifts are located on Deer Valley owner Alterra and Extell just signed a 199-year land lease that allows Deer Valley to continue operating those lifts “We have the right to access Deer Valley with one lift currently I don’t know where it’s going to land.”Deer Valley senior communications manager Emily Summers confirmed the lift connection “There is a lift planned that will connect Deer Valley to the new Mayflower Mountain Resort and the resorts would be connected through this lift a guest would need a Deer Valley Resort lift ticket.”Despite the close connection the new land lease doesn’t include an operating agreement for Deer Valley to run the ski operations at Mayflower Mountain Resort Barnett left open the possibility of teaming up with any operator “who could run a high quality resort.” However he also said he hopes to have a long-term partnership with Deer Valley as Extell develops its Mayflower land assemblage.Deer Valley president and COO Todd Shallan told SAM and have had some discussions," but there haven't been "more than a few conversations." Article based on original reporting done by KPCW As construction begins and trails are being cut at Mayflower Mountain Resort Utah’s newest billion-dollar ski resort negotiations are going on behind the scenes to partner with neighboring Deer Valley Resort but administrators say the two resorts could strike a deal soon To achieve the goal of a soft opening in 2024 the operators of Mayflower need to partner with a lift operator We have great communication going with Extell and Mayflower and the Mayflower project is something that we’re very interested in — only if it’s additive to Deer Valley.” Deer Valley interim Chief Operating Officer and COO of parent company Alterra would that mean that snowboarders would finally be allowed at Deer Valley “We’re very committed to Deer Valley being a skiing resort And that’s what we hear from our people.” is under no illusion that if the companies partner to run the ski lifts they are going to be in control of all things skiing Extell Development Company founder and chairman Krieg believes this will be a one-of-a-kind resort. Speaking with a KPCW News reporter, he says Krieg also sees the activity in the village as a bit different than most others. According to a recent article from KPCW, he says; “So your activity during the day will be focused on the ski beach. So you know, your outdoor dining, watching the skiers come down and really partaking. And then during the afternoon, it really shifts after après and goes to the village core, where you have fire pits and your retail and your outside seating, or outdoor dining for the restaurants.” After first breaking ground in 2021, it looks like the new MMR is genuinely starting to take shape with the first trails being cut. With several of those runs North-facing and slotted expert terrain and a majority of the resort planned for intermediate and expert terrain, this may be the start of something special. We’ll be sure to follow along as this story unfolds. Jeff Thedude – the big lebowski. Knows bowling, not skiing It’s all about the real estate. How do we POW with this kind of crap going on.

We map the areas against library of region boundaries created by The Los Angeles Times Located close to the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton The Mayflower Village is a modern pub which has recently undergone a full internal and external refurbishment with a previously redundant basement turned into a bar Work on the redevelopment began in August 2018 and was undertaken by main contractors Brynwell Southern and Interior Designers and Architectural Consultants Tibbatts Abel Speaking to Premier Hospitality magazine about the project Drew Twyman from Tibbatts Abel said: “The Mayflower Village is a two storey development The existing ground floor bar was fully refurbished and the redundant basement was opened up to create a two level operation The basement now has bookable function rooms and table tennis tables as well as being a break out space from the ground floor which is primarily a bar and a restaurant “The bookable areas are known as the ‘Village Hall’ and can be used by local businesses students and any other group organisation needing event space.” the site was transferred from Greene King to Urban Village Pub Co Urban Pub Village Co is an independent pub company founded by Ian Grundy and Gavin Drew which currently operates four pubs in the South East of England informal and friendly attributes of a Great British Pub combined with a modern contemporary and vibrant environment that has a strong sense of identity within the local community Drew added: “The scheme is based around the washed out reclaimed industrial feel There is lots of reclaimed timber and exposed brickwork The scheme is lifted to a more premium feel with the introduction of herringbone flooring The fascia is treated as its sister site so there is a cedar fascia with hand painted signage “Any old building that hasn’t been refurbished for a while is a challenge and creating a multi floor venue is always tricky to ensure that one level doesn’t feel isolated By reinstating the original staircase at the front of the building it allowed light from the glazed elevation to flood down into the basement and the open staircase ensured the atmosphere is throughout the venue “This is the third concept in this ‘Village’ concept that we have done for our client They are a great client to work for with great ambitions to be a design lead pub company who offer an excellent customer experience they pride themselves on their range of artisan craft beers and freshly made to order pizzas and food The sites unique self-service fridge is stocked with more than 30 beers and their craft draught wall sees the finest keg beers from some of the finest breweries on the planet They serve 30 bottled craft beers from around the world and six on draught These are changed regularly to make sure there is always something new to try on the bar There is also a well-crafted wine list which includes fruity whites deep robust reds and cheeky pinks and a cocktail list featuring all of the classics as well as a few little surprises to give guests the chance to discover something new The food is made from the freshest ingredients from suppliers they trust The pubs pizza bases are made using authentic Italian ingredients and are carefully pulled and rolled by hand They are then topped with hand-picked ingredients each bursting with flavour and stone-baked to crispy perfection the burgers are something to behold – deliciously thick patties are nestled in a Pretzel bun and packed full of tasty toppings For more information visit: https://www.themayflowervillage.com/ LAist is part of Southern California Public Radio the project reminds us that borders are often determined by business On one hand you can say that the designations are largely arbitrary all separated by highways and thoroughfares and hills and Brightwell's map is indicative of that One fun thing about the map is that you'll run across neighborhoods that you've never heard about LAist spoke with Brightwell about the Herculean task he'd assigned himself Like a lot of the stuff I do; I looked for something and it didn't exist So I thought "I guess I'll just do it." When I first started it Times had even started their mapping project yet downtown and Chinatown; there's no Jewelry District or any of the others And when I first came out here (in the late '90s) and I didn't see any signs or maps of the trails or the park "Let's just start walking all the trails and see where they all go In making this map I tried to go with as many sources as possible When Foursquare was still a thing...I'd be in Silver Lake and it'd say "do you want to check into East L.A." and I'm like I'm sure it's just part of some data input with no human curating it there's also often a consensus about neighborhood borders I remember speaking with someone about Leimert Park and they said "the eastern border is this" and no one's disputed it so far I've changed the border between Echo Park and Silver Lake before And in the city of Los Angeles itself; as for what's West Adams the City Planning Department and Department of Transportation have such different definitions that they don't even overlap—they're like a mile-and-half apart So to me there's kind of two West Adams now: the part next to Culver City that has the LADOT signs and which people are now calling West Adams and there's the historic West Adams district And it's pretty funny how there are two South Parks and how there's a Rose Hill and a Rose Hills But I'll also look at old newspaper clippings Like the border between Silver Lake and Echo Park; it's Coronado it just feels more like a dividing line between the two neighborhoods But ultimately I don't think these borders are impenetrable; they're not walls I mean it has a business improvement district and a Department of Transportation designation But I don't think a lot of people who grew up there necessarily know it as such It was where the Greek community was centered around 60 or 70 years ago I think a lot of it is also what happens in other parts of the county Like how some people don't want to be associated with what they think has a negative connotation So it's like "Oh people might not want to move here if it's known as 'Mid-City' so let's reclaim this old tract name that was used to sell homes 115 years ago." And if you look at North Hollywood—at some point people didn't want the North Hollywood association so a part of it broke off and became Valley Village And then a part of Valley Village didn't want to be Valley Village anymore the border had been moved because it was deemed more desirable to live in Sherman Oaks There's a lot of argument about what is and what isn't a neighborhood in the El Sereno area Some people say Hillside Village isn't an actual neighborhood And sometimes people argue about how the Culver City Arts District isn't actually in Culver City like "The Culver City Arts District: This Way" I remember when I was exploring Elysian Valley or Frogtown "I've lived here my whole life and I've never heard anyone call it Elysian Valley No one calls it that." And then later someone said no one calls it Frogtown." Sometimes you'll find people living in the same space who are completely unaware of what their neighbors call the neighborhood It's like knitting; I'm doing it but I'm doing other things like listening to a podcast or something
