📰 In the news

Dark humor takes center stage: Comedian Mimi Hayes will perform at Aims Community College in Greeley on March 4. Hosted by Aims Student Accessibility Services, the show spotlights Traumatic Brain Injury Awareness Month — read the full story.

Beautification efforts get a boost: Greeley’s Neighborhood Improvement Grant Program is now open, offering $100 gift cards for cleanups and block parties, plus up to $2,500 for longer-term projects like landscaping and lighting across the city — get all the details.

A flavorful neighborhood addition: Fort Collins has a new Thai spot close to Greeley. Three Dragon Thai opened on Feb. 23, offering a glimpse inside and what’s on the menu so far — see the space and menu.

Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.

Highlights this week:

• File your taxes free at Aims Greeley
• Kids read to gentle therapy dogs
• Celebrate 18 years with 108 salutations
• You’re probably overpaying for car insurance

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up

Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold

Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.

While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.

If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.

It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 We got your back

Where wings actually crunch: When the craving hits, Wing Shack keeps it simple, crispy, saucy, and reliably on point. Go classic or chase the heat; the sauces deliver, and crinkle fries handle the cleanup. Ideal for a post-work win or a low-key game watch.

Plant-powered pampering: Prefer fewer chemicals and more Colorado-made goodness? Golden Poppy Herbal Apothecary crafts small-batch skin and body care, essential oils, and custom plant-scented blends. It offers refills and classes, plus plenty to sniff. Your routine will smell fresher, feel better, and thank you later.

Your swing’s happy place: At Highland Hills Golf Course, tree-lined fairways and a handy practice range help shake off winter rust, with Rocky Mountain views sweetening every shot. Wrap up at Bogey’s Pub and Grill, toast the round, and label it a very productive “meeting” on your calendar.

Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn more about my favorite online options here.

Someone Googled you this week 👀

It may feel like an invasion of privacy, but unfortunately It’s the new normal. Whether you’re joining a committee, selling something locally, dating again, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up online.

Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.

Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you – or someone you care about – to clean up outdated results that no longer tell the real story. Learn more here.
