📰 In the news
Walkability boost on the way: Fossil Cove Brewing has signed a lease for a second Fayetteville location, anchoring the South School Strip redevelopment in south Fayetteville. The original Birch and Poplar taproom will remain open — see what’s planned for the area.
Native replant reward program: Fayetteville’s eighth annual invasive plant bounty is underway, offering a free tree or shrub to residents who remove listed species at home in Fayetteville, with submissions open through March 20 — see how to participate.
Capturing a local legacy: Maxine’s Tap Room fans can share stories with the Pryor Center at Fayetteville Public Library today from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., marking the bar’s 76th anniversary year — get all the event details.
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
Pho fix this week: Typhoon Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine serves comfort in a bowl… think seafood pho, silky egg noodles, and lemongrass beef that wanders into your daydreams. When dinner needs to be easy and restorative, this spot is the low-stress move your week deserves.
Curtains need a glow-up? Interior Fabrics & Design stocks upholstery and drapery fabrics, trims, wallpaper, and the hardware to hang it all, plus friendly, practical advice so your pick suits the room you live in, not just a board. Consider it your local sanity check between swatch and sofa.
Hometown breakfast fix: Rolling Pin Cafe has served Fayetteville for 30-plus years with from-scratch comfort: biscuits and gravy (yes, chocolate), hand-battered chicken-fried steak, fresh pies, and coffee that never cools. Craving hometown flavor? Their all-day breakfast invites lingering, conversation, and second helpings.
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 →
