Through the Smoke: Adele's owners discuss fire, their commitment to re-open
Submitted by Jeff Munson on Fri, 04/26/2019 - 1:26pmWhat's on the outside doesn't always reflect on what's going on inside. Perceptions are just that sometimes. There's usually a lot more going than meets the eye.
And that is the case with Cafe at Adele's following the March 28 fire that swept through but was mostly contained to the laundry room area of the iconic Carson City restaurant that sits on the corner of North Carson and John Street.

Farmers Insurance-Daniel McCraw
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Wed, 09/20/2017 - 4:35pmFlood Insurance is one of those things you might not think about- until you're knee deep in muddy water in your living room. At that point, it's too late. You're left with moldy furniture, ruined flooring, and probably a big replacement cost. You're not alone though. 87% of homeowners don't have a flood insurance policy.
Misconception #1: You don't need flood insurance unless you live in a flood-prone area. Not true. Your property may be at risk. Heavy rainfall, melting snow and floods happen more often and in more parts of the country than you think.

Letter: Why we must redevelop downtown
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Sun, 10/26/2014 - 10:45amMy wife and I were on the fence about whether or not to purchase the downtown building at 716 North Carson, previously known as Washington Street Station. After all, the building was more than half empty and had not attracted a new tenant in five years.
A bank had repossessed the building two years previously and had been unable to sell it even as it gradually cut the initial listing price almost in half. And to top things off, the building had extensive water damage throughout caused by a leaky roof, and the few tenants it did have were unhappy with conditions.
