📰 In the news
A bargain hunter’s wonderland: Golden Valley’s Neely’s Korner, Mohave County’s largest flea market, offers climate controlled browsing and an outdoor swap meet where $35 can fill your backseat with quirky finds and vintage surprises — learn more about this market.
Exploration targets corridor continuity: Kingman Minerals has begun Phase III drilling at the Mohave Project to test Southwick Vein step-out, with four drill sites, including three southeast of Rosebud Mine and one northwest — see the planned drill sites.
Classic Southwestern roadside charm: Discover Arizona’s Mother Road with quirky stays, museums, and wild burros, from Holbrook’s Wigwam Motel to Kingman, where the Seligman to Kingman stretch is the beating heart of Route 66 — see the highlights and history.
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:
|
💎 Local business spotlight
Craving, meet pie: Amore Pie & More sweetens Lake Havasu City with scratch-made fruit and cream pies, plus minis for a quick taste. Buttery crusts handle the persuasion… seasonal flavors and classic comforts await; no special occasion necessary, only a fork.
Fresh bloom fix: When you need to say ‘thinking of you’ without a novel, Lady Di’s Florist delivers hand-crafted arrangements, lush plants, and gift baskets, with same-day local delivery. Perfect for birthdays, just-because moments, or smoothing over the classic ‘I totally forgot’ hiccup.
Stronger this week: Crank up your fitness without the bro-y vibe at Kingman CrossFit, where coaching stays friendly and progress sticks. Choose guided classes or open gym, all scaled to any level, for a routine boost, more energy, and the kind of neighbors-who-actually-cheer.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back
Your data is for sale right now: There are over 400 websites selling your info to marketers, political campaigns, and scammers. They’ve got your phone number, home address, relatives’ names… you name it. That’s how robocallers seem to know everything about you before you pick up. You can remove your info one site at a time, or pay a service to do it for you. Here’s what we recommend →
Why your last diet didn’t work: Sustained weight loss is nearly impossible with diet alone. Your body literally fights back by making you hungrier the moment you start restricting calories. That’s why more doctors are recommending GLP-1s. The best part? Getting them has never been easier. We compared three programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →
What doctors wish every 65+ adult had at home: Physicians call it “long-lie,” and it’s the real reason falls are so dangerous for older adults. It’s not a broken bone… it’s lying on the floor for hours waiting for someone to notice. We dug into the options that actually solve this problem, and one stood out. See which one →
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. Check out my favorite online options →
