Foreclosure crisis hurts us all
Thursday, November 10, 2011 - 10:46am

I have a friend here in Carson City who will soon be losing her home. She's not the first, and probably not the last.

She bought her house back near the height of the boom. It's a fairly small, modest home, but fits her needs almost perfectly. At the time, her income from her sales job easily covered her mortgage and expenses. Times were good.

Wednesday, November 9, 2011 - 2:59pm

What started at the turn of the century as an effort to gain a day of recognition for the significant contributions the first Americans made to the establishment and growth of the U.S., is now recognized in November as Native American Heritage Month.

In the Carson City and Northern Nevada region, the Washoe tribe dates back at least 9,000 years, with its presence extending to the Lake Tahoe Basin and adjacent east and west slopes and valleys of the Sierra Nevada. Read more here from the Carson City Convention and Visitors Bureau.
