Wonderful !

Like a blink of the eye it nearly escaped us. But the removal of the Motel Washoe sign along Highway 395 in Washoe Valley is something long-time motorists who travel the corridor daily can't miss. Check out these great photos by Around Carson's Scott Schrantz. While you're on his site, click around to his many wonderful moments caught on film and the stories behind the photos.

The final games of pool were being played today at Doppelgangers Brewery and Tap Room in Carson City, with the winners being Carson City community organizations.

CARSON CITY – The hills will come to life in Carson City this May as the Western Nevada Musical Theatre Company brings Rodgers and Hammerstein’s most beloved musical, 'The Sound of Music' to the Carson City Community Center.  

With so many of the mountain resorts staying open well into May there's a marvelous chance to combine skiing and hiking in one glorious wind-up of a great season.

I did this once and enjoy it immensely, hiking in the low and then turning around and skiing on the high. It was May of a couple of years ago when I loaded the car with camping gear and tucked a pair of skis on the roof rack. I headed south down 395, inflated with the idea of hiking around Death Valley National Park and then stopping off at Mammoth Mountain on the way home to ski.

Thank you Carson City and surrounding areas for a wonderful first 3 weeks of business! We are excited to be here.

Who says we need a new library? The library director, of course, but who else? I have real problems with expanding the library two to three times the existing facility.

Opening Night on Broadway, full of new music and wonderful dance and vocal arrangements on stage of the Carson City Community Center Theater this weekend ONLY!

Ron: Valid points. Valid points. I’m more concerned about making a $50 million investment in a library while not knowing “where” information management is headed.

Well written. Provocative! Thank you for your contribution to the debate!

Again, compelling statements. It is true, anyone can point to any number of reasons why we should keep building libraries.

Sometimes you come across a book that explains all the things we are doing wrong in Afghanistan and Iraq and you wonder why all those brain trusts in the White House and Pentagon hadn’t picked upon it
