📰 In the news
A literary landmark’s next chapter: A new owner saved Tucson’s oldest bookstore, The Book Stop, from permanent closure. The sale closed Feb. 2, and the shop will reopen mid-March with plans to spotlight local authors — get all the reopening details.
Beloved brand grows footprint: Nathan’s Famous has opened near the University of Arizona, bringing hot dogs and crinkle-cut fries to Tucson’s 4th Avenue, a convenient stop for Green Valley families, students, and visitors — learn about the local partnership.
City code amendment under review: Tucson will host two public meetings this week on proposed rules for large-scale data centers, a virtual session March 4 and an in-person meeting March 5 at Rincon/University High School — get meeting details and timeline.
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.
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
Glow-up pit stop: If your self-care list keeps slipping, Modern Beauty Bar makes it simple to check a few boxes, from facials and lash extensions to fresh cuts, mani/pedis, and tension-melting massage, all in one laid-back Green Valley spot. A little time now, and your future self will thank you.
Crave-worthy wing fix: Whether you’re craving classic buffalo or something garlicky and bold, The Garage Sports Bar delivers crispy, saucy wings alongside plenty of screens, lively trivia, and just the right touch of friendly chaos. A reliable neighborhood fix for zero-fuss comfort food when you want it close to home.
Swing with mountain views: Need a quick reset that isn’t another coffee? San Ignacio Golf Club pairs rolling fairways with Santa Rita views and just-right elevation changes that test without torment. Chase a few birdies, enjoy the breeze, and call it “errands”… a round that clears the head and spares the scorecard.
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.
This house is wild
