Carson City Articles

It's one thing to read quick and easy blog posts about Carson City, but sometimes you want something with a little more meat to it. This is the place to check for more in-depth conversations in the form of Carson City articles. We explore its people, its history, the geography and nature, politics and business. If it happens in Nevada's capital, we'll let you know about it. That could mean a Carson City article about the storied history of our area. It could be a piece on how the city managed to lay claim to being host of the Nevada State Fair. Maybe it's an update on the progress of the freeway connector (or lack thereof). Whatever it is, if it is interesting to the residents of the city or the visitors to our little piece of western Nevada, we'll have something to say about it. Because in a community with as many levels and nuances as Carson City, there's bound to be something that has managed to slip under your radar, and it could just be something that has a big impact on your day-to-day life.

Information That Informs Carson City Articles

Given that our little city happens to be the seat of Nevada state government, actions and activities outside of Carson City can have an impact on us here. No other community has ties to the entire rest of the state like the capital city does, so we'll also keep our ear to the ground for information from Reno, Las Vegas and the rural counties that registers as interesting for the locals. You can think of this site as your one-stop-shop for Carson City articles and information.
