Carson City Mayor Bob Crowell helps Alie's Flowers owner Catherine Greene cut the ribbon at the grand re-opening of the business' new location inside Carson Mall.

With more than twice the floor space and a new, higher-profile location on Carson Street, the Home Treasures gift shop already is seeing a tremendous increase in business, according to its owner...

The exterior of the Carson Mall has been getting a makeover recently, and today a crew was covering up the remnants of the old Gottchalks sign on the south side of the mall.

This is just one visible change going on at the Carson Mall. There is also work being done to extend the patio outside the Paradise Cove Cafe. In addition, Alie's Flowers is having a grand re-opening tomorrow at 4 p.m. in their new mall location. Last week, Home Treasures had a grand opening in their new location, too. And the new Thai Thai restaurant has been open for a few weeks.

Home Treasures in the Carson Mall has expanded its location and offerings now including consignment furniture.

The Carson City Chamber of Commerce conducted a ribbon cutting event to celebrate the new location with Mayor Bob Crowell officiating.

Last week, Kevin Law of Carson City and I joined Gene (“Gino”) St. Denis of South Lake Tahoe, California for a morning of Mackinaw (Lake) Trout fishing at Lake Tahoe.

Gene is a longtime, good, personal friend and he is a premier sport fishing guide at South Lake Tahoe, known as Blue Ribbon Charters, 530-544-6552. He has fished Tahoe for some thirty years (the last twelve years as a fishing guide) and is one of the top, if not the top, guides at that lake.

CARSON CITY — Here is the fishing report for Northern Nevada, Northern California, and the Sierra for the week of June 15-June 21.

Ground was broken Wednesday for the new location of the Sierra Family Health Center that serves Carson City. When complete, the health center will relocate to 3325 Research Way. The ceremony was...

By the first day of school next year, Silver State Charter School should be operating at its new location on Mallory Way."We're delighted," said Steve Knight, superintendent and founder of the scho...

The Nevada Appeal today has the story of a missing historical marker. You know those blue markers in the shape of Nevada that dot the landscape? Sometimes they go missing, either through theft or vandalism, or they’re removed during the course of nearby construction. Sometimes they are put back in place after the construction is done, as was the case with the marker in front of the Carson City Courthouse on Musser.

Last week we reported that the governor's office sent a letter to Nugget Project consultant Mark Lewis taking issue with certain parts of the feasibility study for moving three state agencies into the Carson City Center/Nugget Project.

The one big item missing in that story was the Meridian Business Advisors feasibility study itself, which we now have a copy of.

The Carson City permit center will be closed Wednesday through Friday, Aug. 4 to Aug. 6, while the permit center facilities are being moved to 108 E. Proctor Street. The permit center will reopen at its new location on Monday, Aug. 9.

The permit center handles all permits relating to the Building, Business License, Engineering and Planning Divisions of the Public Works Department. The Building Division will continue to conduct scheduled building permit inspections during the office closure. The permit center is currently located at 2621 Northgate Lane.

I was gone for part of last week, and I missed that the new Michael Hohl Honda and Subaru auto dealerships on South Carson opened up on Monday. Looks like the Nevada Appeal missed it as well, at least as far as their website is concerned. Hopefully the addition will add some new sales tax revenue to Carson City's coffers.

The Appeal has a story this morning about Mom & Pop's owner Doug Cramer being pushed out of the Fridays@3rd Street event he started nine years ago.

I've been talking with Doug about this situation, and there are a few interesting things left out of this story.

CARSON CITY — State budget problems have forced the Nevada Department of Wildlife to temporarily suspend its boat title and registration services offered at the Department of Motor Vehicles office in Carson City.
