Is Carson City's economy going up or down?
Submitted by admin on Mon, 01/23/2012 - 2:39pmA recent report commissioned by the U.S. Conference of Mayors awards Carson City the dubious distinction of being the only metropolitan area studied that is predicted to not recover any jobs this year.
Add to that this morning's unemployment report showing the rate for Carson City climbed to 12.2 percent in December, and one can't help worrying about the economic outlook for our area.

Outdoors with Don Q: Personal resolutions for the year 2012
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Wed, 01/04/2012 - 7:08amIt’s the very first part of January and this is a good time for all of us to make some personal resolutions for the year 2012. Most importantly, remember that if you do make any resolutions, be sure to follow through with what you resolve to do in this new year. I have a number of things I would like to accomplish this year, so without any further ado, here are my resolutions:

Confusion over holiday hours for Arlington Square Ice Rink
Submitted by admin on Tue, 01/03/2012 - 10:49amMy family went ice skating yesterday (everyone except me, because I would probably break something). But it was quite a sight to see three generations out on the ice together.
However, there was a problem. My wife used Google to find out what times the skating rink was open, and got that information from the DowntownCarsonCity.com website.
Unfortunately, those times are wrong. They are from last year, as that site hasn't been updated since then. The current holiday schedule for the ice rink is here.
Session start at 10 a.m. on weekends, not 3 p.m. as it says on the DowntownCarsonCity.com site. With the warm weather, this makes a big difference because by later in the afternoon, the ice can get pretty chopped up.
So enjoy the ice skating while it lasts. It's the only real sign of winter we have around here so far this year.
