📰 Most-clicked stories this week
Hidden desert dining gems: A list spotlights 13 Arizona restaurants to try in 2026, from Bisbee diners near Sierra Vista to date shakes in Dateland and classic Navajo tacos — see the full list.
Unified wildfire aviation approach: A national aerial supervision training academy for the 2026 fire season is held in Arizona, with sessions at Mesa Gateway Airport and Fort Huachuca in Sierra Vista, bringing agencies together — get all the details.
New window into policing tech: Sierra Vista Police launched a transparency portal for its Flock Safety license plate readers, sharing data retention timelines, camera counts, and recent searches, with a City Council work session presentation held February 24 — see what’s in the portal.
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.

🏆 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.

🫶 This week’s top finds
Small plates, big mood: In the mood for shareable Spanish-style tapas, silky housemade gelato, or a quick glass close to home? At Piccola Casa Internacional, expect rotating bites, cozy European comfort, and zero fuss. Conversations tend to linger longer than the plates, especially midweek.
Twirl-worthy pasta fix: When the week begs for a carb hug, Pizzeria Mimosa answers with scratch-made Italian, a Naples wood-burning oven, and mountain-view vibes that reset your mood. Pies built to share, twirls of sauce, and comfort served hot… feeling better comes quick.
Victorian daydream fuel: Whether you’re itching to swap big-box blah for real history, Somewhere In Time Antiques brims with early 1800s to early 1900s pictures, furniture, and other Victorian-era finds, all handpicked from the owner’s travels. The perfect nudge to give that neglected corner some personality.
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.
