📰 In the news
Owners outline next steps: Despite a TV report causing confusion, North Logan’s Coconut Cove remains open, with owners clarifying it operates separately from other locations and considering a new name and business approach — read the full story.
Inside a transformative arts legacy: USU celebrated the Russell/Wanlass Performance Hall’s 20th anniversary with a special concert, highlighting a donor-built venue that continues to shape Logan’s arts scene and inspire students and audiences — read the full story.
Specs on sleep upgrades: Malouf announced a brand refresh for Weekender, launching a website and unveiling mattresses at the Malouf showroom during Las Vegas Market, including foam and hybrid options for preview and preorder — get all the product details.
Music and comedy intertwine: USU Opera Theatre will bring Mozart’s Abduction from the Seraglio to the Utah Theatre in Logan this April, with performances April 3, 6, 9, and 11, presented in English — get all the details.
Gold and silver are (still) on fire: Gold’s strong run continues, and silver is outperforming nearly every major asset class in the last year. With demand rising and supply tight, precious metals offer the right combination of market hedge and growth. Augusta Precious Metals is a great way to invest in gold because you can just roll over part of your retirement account into their gold and silver IRAs. Curious to learn more about it? Grab their free guide here.
Compare rates for free: Insurance prices drop all the time, but you’ll only know if you check. I assumed my rate was fine until I compared options and realized I was leaving real money on the table. It took a minute to check and instantly showed better offers for where I live. If it’s been more than a few months, you should probably run this comparison tool here.
One pet emergency can easily cost $7,000+ but pet insurance helps ease the financial and emotional burden. It’s something I wish I’d had after spending $10k on last-minute surgery for my cat (her name is Miss Stache). I learned my lesson and signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.

Highlights this week:

🫶 We got your back
Plans advance for community spots: Logan City Council approved two rezones near the Cache County Fairgrounds, opening the door for a neighborhood bookstore with coffee at 404 Park Avenue and a small eatery at 390 South 400 West. Council also discussed changing the nonresident Logan Library card fee to $125 a year from $163. Get all the details.
Community care for animals: USU veterinary volunteers and local practitioners provided free rabies shots and deworming for pets at the William A. Burnard Warming Center in Logan. The next clinic will run from eight to nine thirty p.m. on Feb. 26 at 85 E. 100 North, while the center operates through April 15. See when and where to go.
Cheesy comfort, dialed-in: At The Beehive Pub & Grill, Carbonara Mac ’N’ Cheese brings sharp cheddar, cavatappi, bacon, and petite peas together in creamy bliss, with garlic toast on the side. It’s weeknight-craving fuel, cozy, familiar, and satisfying without fuss.
Fresh threads, local vibes: If your closet needs a midwinter lift, ROOLEE has easy dresses, cozy layers, and accessories that make errands feel pulled together. You can also grab cute finds for kids and a bit of home decor, perfect for a quick pick-me-up this week.
A smart way to save on big purchases: When costs hit the tens of thousands, credit card and personal loan interest racks up fast. A HELOC lets you tap into your home’s equity as a flexible line of credit at a lower rate… all without refinancing your mortgage. I’ve been looking into this myself, and Figure’s HELOC stood out for its 100% online application, no in-person appraisal, and quick access to cash.
Your neighbors are Googling you:It’s an uncomfortable thought, but people search names all the time — employers, new friends, other parents at school pickup. If something negative, outdated, or misleading shows up on the first page, it can shape how people see you before you ever meet. BetterReputation helps push down unwanted search results so the first impression you make actually reflects who you are today. And if it’s not your name, you can help a friend or family member with that too.
Get clarity on financial decisions: Managing retirement, taxes, and investments alone can feel overwhelming, especially during big life transitions. Financial advisors provide holistic guidance, help reduce risk, and keep emotions away from costly decisions. I found a tool called Unbiased that matches you with the right financial advisor based on your personal situation so you can get a second opinion… it never hurts.
