It’s a classic “You say tomato, I say tomato” situation. Luciano’s is a local restaurant with a name pronounced differently by many people Laramie residents.

Even if you adjust your privacy settings, you can’t be sure that only your friends have access to your information on sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Southeast Wyoming has already seen its share of wildfires, or at least their smoke, over the past month. Dry conditions and gusty winds already make the fire danger higher than many other regions, but throw in the fuel of beetle killed trees and it certainly seems as though southeast Wyoming is ripe for fires to sweep across the land.

Nature can paint such a pretty picture in Laramie and the surrounding area. The scenic beauty is certainly considered a big draw to the town and valley. With the Laramie Range, the Snowy Range and plenty of outdoor activities, picture taking can become a quick hobby or profession.

With kids out of school on summer vacation and weather seemingly getting nicer and nicer, the urge to spend time outside gets stronger everyday. Whether it’s spending some time swimming or maybe making a quick escape outside of town, the outside provides a great temptation for many people sitting at work...

Technically speaking, it is still spring, but with the numerous storms we’ve seen in the area over the last few weeks, it feels as though we are in the midst of a massive summer storm season.   Not long ago, a quarter-mile tornado struck the Wheatland area, injuring one, and causing massive damage in its wake...

Taking a pet with you on vacation can be a challenge. Just ask Mitt Romney, who still gets grief about the time he strapped his Irish Setter — who was suffering from diarrhea — to the roof of his car during a family trip in 1983. Nevertheless, it seems that most pet owners still take their favorite furball on vacation with them.

Road construction projects are hardly ever convenient, but some projects definitely go better than others. The project on the intersection of 30th St and Grand Avenue was able to finish up eight days early, but it still forced drivers to detour away from a major part of Laramie for two months.

Wyoming Cowboy fans know how valuable Leonard Washington was as a red-shirt junior to the team last season. He was a second-team All-Mountain West and All-District 17 selection and led UW in scoring (12.9 ppg) and rebounding (6.9 rpg). It all was part of the 21-12 season, in which the Cowboys were back in the post-season for the first time since 2009...

To many of us, a summertime not spent on the water, is a poorly spent summertime. Within the city limits of Laramie, there are not any lakes or ponds that are good for swimming or boating, but there are a good amount of indoor and outdoor pools. Places to swim are good, because swimming is, to many, a necessity to the summer, but to many of us, pools just don’t cut it in the summer months. Read Mo

Let's be honest, who isn't a big fan of competition? Be it in sports rivalries, accelerating faster than someone after a stop light turns green, or trying to get more "likes" than your friends with a Facebook status, there are competitions everywhere in our everyday lives.

The Laramie City Council will be going over the proposed budget for the 2013-14 fiscal year during their regular meeting tonight. Budgets are never easy to balance and with the University of Wyoming looking at potential budget cuts along with the rest of the State of Wyoming, the councilors will certainly have their work cut out for them.
