The old Lucky Spur building downtown has gone through some changes over the years, from the vacant rats' nest, to Stew's Sportatorium, to its current identity of Doppelgangers. And under it's current name, it's seen many changes.

But now it looks like it will have a new owner and new name. Jim Phalan, owner of Firkin & Fox, will be taking over Doppelgangers and converting it to the Knee Deep Brewing Company.

ACCTV has a new program called It's Your City, and here if the first installment with Mayor Bob Crowell:

Driving wind that snapped tree limbs and caused power glitches earlier today turned to heavy rain earlier tonight with gusty winds, that prompted the National Weather Service in Reno to issue flood and high wind warnings for the Carson City region. Both have since expired.

For the latest weather radar reports and updates go to www.carsonweather.com. At 4:14 this afternoon the National Weather Service in Reno issued the flood warning for Carson City and much of the region. Carson City has received about an inch and half of rain since the storm began this morning.

According to dispatch earlier today, law officers, fire crews as well as public works at the scene of a downed power line in West Carson City were told to keep their hard hats on because of flying debris.

Meanwhile dispatch reports localized flooding tonight throughout the city, especially in low-lying areas. Leaf and tree limb-clogged drainages along city streets appear to be the main problem. High winds picked up at about 9:30 tonight after a brief period of calm.
