Who remembers the great cannabis lounge rollout of 2022? All the hype. All the vision. All the promises about a “community-driven” experience in Washoe County. And yet—after all the applications, all the talk—only one proposal stood standing: SoL Cannabis. It was supposed to be the future. Events
Washoe Valley Residents Speak — But the Votes Were Already Counted … At the Tuesday, March 10, 2026 meeting of the Washoe County Commission, the setup on the dais appeared clear from the start. A trio had formed. Commissioners Alexis Hill, Clara Andriola, and Mariluz Garcia seemed poised to over

Yesterday we published a story hoping someone with a bigger reach might amplify it — and bless their souls, Our Town Ren o picked it up. They have a megaphone compared to Picon’s whistle, and for that we’re grateful. We’re happy being the “little engine that could,” the outlet everyone swears they
Well, well, well — looks like Commissioner Mike Clark been calling out Commission Chair Alexis Hill long enough. Washoe County sent him a “Hold the Date” notice for T uesday, December 2, 2025, from 1–5 p.m. — a possible meeting of the long-vanished Community Homeless Advisory Board (CHAB). If true
