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...

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...

Townsquare Media of Casper announces double the fun and excitement with two headline acts for the 18th annual Beartrap Summer Festival! “We’re very excited to have the Marshall Tucker Band with us on Saturday, August 4th, and Steve Earle on Sunday, August 5th ,” said festival coordinator Jana Price...

As we mentioned early last week, there was a solar eclipse set to take place last night (May 20th). If you missed it and didn’t get a good look, here are some pictures of what the eclipse looked like from Laramie. What you are seeing is a phenomena created when the Earth, the Moon and the Sun perfectly align, which usually happens a few times each year...

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...

The Encampment-Riverside Lions Club is making their final preparations for the 2012 Woodchopper’s Jamboree and Rodeo that takes place in a little less than a month. This will be the 52nd running of the event as it has become a tradition in the community that lures in competitors from all over the United States to compete for the title of Rocky Mountain Champion Lumberjack...

It’s an unfortunate part of the business world, but for one reason or another some businesses just can’t make a go of it and have to close their doors or change ownership. Laramie is no exception, especially due to tough economic times that have cause many people to stop buying items that aren’t absolutely essential including food at restaurants.

WyoTech’s 12th annual car show is set to take place on Saturday, May 19th from 9AM to 2PM. We were told by organizers that they are expecting over 300 cars, hot rods and motorcycles for this year’s event, which will take place at the school’s Street Rod Shop in West Laramie, located at 1889 Venture Drive. There is no entr ...

There are all kinds of great gifts that you could give mom this Mother’s Day, and in the end only you know best what that might be. However if the special mother in your life happens to have a bit of a green thumb, flowers can be a great idea to make them feel appreciated...

While Laramie does have a few nice places to take your kids swimming, with the Recreation Center hands down being the best option in town, there is not a major water park in the immediate area. Fortunately Water World in Denver is only two hours away and can make for a great getaway to entertain kids and adults alike.

Over the past week there has obviously been a mass exodus of students from Laramie as they take off for summer break or bigger and better things. The University of Wyoming is a huge driver of rental properties in town and without the University the landscape of the housing and rental markets would no doubt change.

This summer along with some of the changes we reported on earlier, the Laramie Farmers Market downtown will also be adding some new vendors to their list of regular attendees. As normal a bulk of the products being sold at the market will again be very local; of the businesses signed up so far,16 are from the Laramie area including Centennial, Fox Park, Cheyenne and Granite Canyon...
