đź“° In the news
Vision Zero plan advances: Greeley will add 128 road safety features downtown by early 2027, using $7.9 million in federal aid and local funds to curb crashes and test improvements across 15 miles — get all the details.
Building community through service: Arlo and Chris Richardson were honored at the Greeley Area Chamber dinner with the Leann Anderson Community Care Award for work with UNC, revitalizing downtown, and Hope Springs affordable housing — see why they were honored.
Colorado Kitty Coalition collaboration: Loveland’s NoCo Cat Cafe plans to expand to Fort Collins, bringing more adoptable cats a short drive from Greeley. The cafe has helped more than 1,100 adoptions since August 2022 — see what’s planned next.
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.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:

🏆 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
Comfort carbs calling: Santeramo’s Pizza House & Italian Food has been family-owned since 1962, serving hearty pastas like meat lasagna, Alfredo, and classic spaghetti and meatballs, perfect for weeknights. Cozy vibes, generous portions, and sauce that tastes like someone’s Nonna had opinions… just right.
Closet time machine: Whether you’re hunting a dreamy 70s dress, a sharp 40s jacket, or a delightfully odd relic from another decade, Wear It Again, Sam keeps Fort Collins styled in true vintage from the late 1800s through the 1990s… and fresh pieces roll in constantly.
Cold rush, calm body: Whole-body cryotherapy at Fire & Ice Wellness delivers a quick, mood-brightening reset when sore backs, cranky knees, or stubborn sleep need a lift. Slide it between errands, then add infrared sauna or red light for a simple, efficient recovery combo that keeps you moving.
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 đź‘€
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.
This house is wild
This semi-custom 4-bed, 4-bath in Windsor School District highlights a 620 sq ft primary retreat with a custom closet and granite island, dual showerheads, and a soaking tub. The finished basement brings a wet bar and private suite. A 1,050 sq ft five-car garage with 220V, hot tub-ready patio, Class 4 roof, and ebony-stained white oak floors stand out.
