I have a 2-year-old blue fawn French bulldog named Juniper. She snorts like a pig and farts a lot. Juniper talks and howls like a human—and always wants to be the center of attention. She really loves hot dogs, so she would drive the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.

My cat, Levi, is a tabby and would drive a BMW for sure! Levi has a self-inflated image and has expensive taste. My cat is meticulous in taking care of himself; he’s very well self-groomed, so he would appreciate the precision German e ..read more

After the entertainment goodness that was The Last of Us comes another TV series—based on a video game I’ve never played—that I’ve greatly enjoyed, much to my surprise.
The great Walton Goggins is terrific as Cooper “The Ghoul” Howard—which just might be my favorite new TV character of this century. A former Western movie star, Cooper is now 200 years old, and he’s traversing a post-apocalyptic countryside as a real-life gunslinger, facially scarred and missing his nose. During the eight-episode season, we see his character’s origins, giving Goggins a chance to act without prosthetics and pr ..read more

Canyon White is nothing short of a local music staple. Whether she’s winning awards for her masterful singer/songwriting skills, hosting open mics, or running The Canyon Club radio show on KNVC 95.1 FM in Carson City, featuring live performances by local musicians, White has been all about the success of the local arts and music scene. White is set to perform at the Polecat Tavern, at 260 W. Winnie Lane, in Carson City, on Saturday, April 20. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/CanyonWhiteMusic.

“There is something beautiful about the idea of the motor lodge; it’s such a piece of America and so much the idea of the American West,” said Piper Stremmel.
She and her husband, Chris Reilly—owners of Fourth Street gems The Jesse Hotel and Abby’s Highway 40—are in the process of transforming the Best Bet Motor Lodge in Midtown into a boutique motel. They intend to make it a comfortable resting spot for travelers—and a fun hangout spot for locals.
Before opening The Jesse in 2019, their team tried to find a motor lodge, but none were for sale that would fit their vision. Th ..read more

Dr. Mindy Lokshin, a Reno life coach who used to work as a family physician, has multiple family members with Parkinson’s disease. All of them live in other states, and as she watched them navigate their diagnoses and begin to access care options, she realized that in Northern Nevada, such options were less plentiful.
“Those places have resources we don’t,” Lokshin said in a phone interview.
In 2021, she and a few locals—mostly people who have the disease or care for someone who does—launched the Parkinson Support Center of Northern Nevada. It started as a website, then added supp ..read more

Brooke Jensen was happy to say her sister hasn’t needed her inhaler for a while.
Jensen, 17, a Bishop Manogue High School student, said the inhaler had become a necessity for her sister on smoky days in previous years—she couldn’t leave the house without it.
That’s just one example of the difference between the summers of 2020 and 2021, and the summers of 2022 and, especially, 2023: A noticeable decrease in wildfires left the air clearer and forests healthier.
With a new summer comes a new fire season, so we checked with experts to learn what’s changed—and what w ..read more

There are a lot of factors that can keep people from accessing outdoor sports. Along with time, safety and transportation, there are also financial and social burdens, plus a lack of information.
Leah Wzientek and her husband, Rusty Donlon, own Gear Hut, a consignment shop that sells outdoor gear. I was talking to her about the shop’s monthly trail cleanups at Huffaker Hills Trailhead—an event she says is dog-friendly, kid-friendly and “very entry-level”—when I mentioned that they do a lot to make nature accessible to people who might not be outdoorsy.
“Yeah,” she replied. “I thin ..read more

Unlike modern movie venues, the Fallon Theatre doesn’t have plush recliners or show previews of future releases. Patrons who purchase a soda can borrow a drink holder from the concession stand. Still, Nevada’s oldest continuously operating theater looks good considering she’s nearly 104 years old—and she’s survived fires in 1939 and 1943, earthquakes in 1954, and several significant remodels.
Acrobat J.W. Flood, (“Jumping Jack”) and his singer/dancer wife, Mabelle, spared no expense when they built the theater as a vaudeville venue, purchasing a concert grand Steinway piano and a $20,00 ..read more

What an excellent idea—a Steve Martin documentary told in two parts, entitled “Then” and “Now,” covering two very important periods in the man’s legendary career.
Both parts are directed by Morgan Neville. “Then” is basically Martin’s origin story, covering his days as an employee at Disneyland performing magic tricks, up through his iconic standup career. “Now” covers his movie career, his partnership with Martin Short and his surprising success as a musical artist, expertly picking that banjo of his.
Even though Neville directs both parts, the two feel almost like separate docs with differ ..read more
