Survey Of The Day

Not only is it road construction season in Laramie, it’s also time to get out and start on those home improvement projects that have been lingering all winter. Whether it’s spring cleaning, cleaning up the yard or painting the house, there always seems to be a never ending list of things to do...

Whether it's a local brand, store made or a national/worldwide chain, people love doughnuts. In fact worldwide, according to AIB International, people around the world spent more than $563 million on doughnuts during a calendar year that ended in March 2011...

I make no secret of the fact that I like food; specifically, fried chicken. In Laramie, there are places to get fried chicken, (or non-fried chicken if you’re into that), but since the closure of Slingers, there is not a restaurant in town that primarily sells chicken...

Some things just go hand-in-hand with summertime. There are plenty of things that are just better to do when school is out and so is the sun. Among all the great summertime activities, few trump a good old-fashioned cookout. Hot dogs or hamburgers, along with a cool canned beverage, sounds nearly perfect on a hot summer day...

Now that school is out for the summer, it's time to figure out how to occupy all those kids for the next three months. While summer camps for kids that last all summer long don't seem to be as common any more, there is no shortage of camps in the region for the youth of Laramie to attend.

Memorial Day, and this weekend has come to mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people in our nation. The day itself was originally known as “Decoration Day” and originated after the American Civil War in 1868. It’s celebrated on the last Monday in May and became an official federal holiday in 1971...

Recently we had a concerned citizen write in to our “Ask the City” segment inquiring about repairs to the Clark Street Bridge. While the decaying bridge and its planned replacement have been talked about very actively in our news lately, we haven’t actually ever taken a good look at the condition of the bridge...

This past fall, it was decided in a special election that the City of Laramie would switch from a seven to a three ward system for electing city council members. The special election was brought about by a petition from the League of Women Voters and one of the biggest reasons they gave for wanting to reduce the number of wards was to encourage more competition for the city council seats.

After last winter’s above average snowfall and subsequent flooding, this year’s run-off levels can’t even begin to compare. With the abundance of water provided by snow-pack these past few years, which has brought Wyoming out of nearly a decade of drought, water shortages have certainly not been a hot issue...

A lot of people that live in Laramie enjoy the outdoors, and particularly all the activities you can do outside that are in and around the Gem City. One popular way to exercise or simply just get out and about is bicycling. Whether competitive or not, our community has numerous cyclists who delight in being able to go for a casual ride, train for specific events or utilize their bike to get them w

Perhaps the most telling sign of summer is the emergence of garage sales on any given weekend. You go for a Saturday afternoon drive and it seems that every street corner has some homemade sign about a garage sale. If you’re anything like me, you see these signs, and follow each of them to their advertised location. Whether you need anything or not, the temptation of a potential great deal is too
