đź“° In the news
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.
STEM dreams under dark skies: Bisbee’s Backyard Project aims to transform an eight acre site behind a former middle school into an outdoor learning space with discovery gardens and a mini observatory, built in phases — read the full story.
Step into frontier history: From Tombstone’s O.K. Corral reenactments to Bisbee’s mining past and Jerome’s hillside history, these 10 Arizona towns keep the Wild West alive for unforgettable road trips from Southern Arizona — check out the full lineup.
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
Wing night upgrade: Craving saucy, Buffalo-style wings without the chain trek? At Vinny’s New York Pizza, the wings land crisp and meaty, with heat from mild to sweat-inducing. The pizzas hold their own, too, making it ideal for a low-key couch game night or an easy family win.
Upgrade your hair game: Whether you need braiding hair, a wig that actually fits, or hard-to-find essentials, Mane Beauty Boutique keeps Sierra Vista stocked so you can skip the Tucson trip. Friendly faces, smart selection for every texture, and real inspo await when your strands need a reset.
Time to tee off: Whether you’re out for a breezy nine or all 18, Sierra Vista Golf Center keeps it friendly with no memberships, playable greens, and scenic views. Wrap it up at the post-round bar, where three-putts become stories and the afternoon feels like time well spent.
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 đź‘€
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
Set on a 1-acre corner lot in Mtn Shadows, this home serves up mountain views from covered patios. Inside, two large living areas each feature a fireplace, plus a formal dining room and a kitchen with abundant storage. A primary suite, two additional bedrooms and a den add flexibility. A 2.5-car garage, ample parking and a backyard workshop complete it.
