📰 In the news
From pace cars to customs: Mecum Auctions will return to Glendale’s State Farm Stadium next week, March 17-21, with 2,000 vehicles and 64 Corvettes spanning all eight generations, from unrestored classics to celebrated anniversary editions — check out the full lineup.
Setting course on social policy: Glendale Councilmember Lupe Conchas was appointed to the National League of Cities Human Development Committee, aiming to champion seniors, veterans, children, and literacy efforts like Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library — see what issues he’ll tackle.
Cross-genre desert music weekend: Glendale fans can catch Soulja Boy headlining the 2026 Wild West Music Fest in Maricopa with Alien Ant Farm and Diamond Rio, March 27 to 29. Tickets are on sale — see dates, lineup and tickets.
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.*
Gold & silver are hot: Last year was gold’s best year since 1979. Silver did even better, climbing nearly 150%… and analysts expect the momentum to continue. Curious about precious metal investing? GoldCo has a helpful guide that covers everything you need to know. It’s free — and definitely worth a read.*
Highlights this week:

💎 Local business spotlight
Fries worth a detour: Old-school vibes meet crispy, house-made spuds at Dazzo’s Dog House, a Glendale standby since 1979. Sure, grab a dog, but the star is a hot, salty pile of fries that nails the crunchy-outside, tender-inside balance… the kind you detour for.
Skin reset, zero fuss: Advanced Image Med Spa & Wellness Center pairs physician-led care with feel-good service, offering injectables, laser resurfacing, and wellness add-ons, so you can refresh without overthinking. Post-winter slump? This Glendale go-to brings natural-looking results that still look like you.
Chase some chains: When cabin fever hits, the fairways at Thunderbird Paseo Park Disc Golf Course deliver 18 holes tracing the wash, a lively mix of short and long shots. Even better with a buddy and a stack of mids… the kind of cardio you might actually enjoy.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Last call for the CVS Epic Beauty Sale: Today’s your last chance to save on all sorts of self-care products at CVS, including makeup, beauty tools, skin care, hair masks, moisturizers, and more from all your favorite brands. *Shop the sale before it ends →
Paying full price is officially optional: Blu Dot just marked down dozens of their best sofas, beds, dining tables, outdoor pieces, and lighting by as much as 60%. Not because something’s wrong with them, but because every great design eventually has to make room for the next one. The deals change daily, so it’s always a new adventure. *See what’s on sale today →
Most people have no idea what’s happening inside their body: Not because the data doesn’t exist, but because no one’s collecting it. Routine annual checkups miss things like body composition, biological age, and the biomarkers that can help predict long-term patterns. The good news? HumeHealth offers tools to help you track all of that at home for less than the cost of a specialist visit. *Use code NEW20 to save 20% →
Something in your house is about to break: It might be your AC, your water heater, your fridge… doesn’t matter. Every major appliance has an expiration date, and when it goes, you’ll be staring down a repair bill that can climb into the thousands fast. An AHS home warranty covers these types of surprises + *select plans are $150 off right now →
