Casper's City Council To Vote On Smoke Free Ordinance Tuesday

Rodeo Rick — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 21:43:58 +0000

Smoky bars, restaurants, bowling allies or other businesses that will soon be allowed to resume smoking could return within Casper's city limits. Unless those who wish to keep Casper smoke-free, can convince the Casper City Council not to change the ordinance. The consensus is that with an increased number of smokers on the council itself, the indoor smoking ordinance ban will most likely be undone or severely weakened in Casper.

Casper Food Critic- Bosco's Is A (Not-So) Blast From The Past

Casper Food Critic — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 19:53:11 +0000

As a young man, I remember the excitement generated by a certain establishment in Casper. Crowds would brave long waits and miniscule parking for a chance to taste some authentic and filling Italian food. I can remember standing outside as lines formed around Bosco’s Italian, nestled in a small corner of Casper. Wanting to recapture that fever, I decided to return after a hiatus of several years. I was hoping beyond hope to rekindle that feeling from my youth.

Casper Food Critic- Cactus Jack's Gets Cut Some Slack…But Not Much

Casper Food Critic — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 19:33:12 +0000

Like a candy wrapper caught in an updraft, I was swept down the highway at record pace. Swirling and twirling through the wild Wyoming wilderness, my destination was the remote outpost of Rawlins. A large project, over which I was lording, was coming to an end and it was now or never. While I don’t like to be away from my beautiful family, I do enjoy the ability to sample fare from all over this amazing state.

Casper Food Critic- Tacos Mexican Has Authentic Mexican Food, Not Authentic Mexican Temperatures

Casper Food Critic — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 19:27:35 +0000

A cold and windy day was laid out before us. As the snow fell, the critic crew loaded up and headed out, looking for something to warm our bones. As we circled town, we had the usual conversation. “Where do you want to go?” would fly from the backseat. A brave individual would reply with “Pizza” to which everybody would groan. After several attempts and awkward silences, somebody threw out “Mexican?” We all exchanged glances and without a rebuttal, we charted a course for our next meal.

Casper Food Critic- Caddie Shack Must Have Been Something Before Electricity

Casper Food Critic — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 19:20:15 +0000

The flying of fingers and moving of electrons. That is all it takes to both create and send a text message to anywhere in the world. As I sat in a silent classroom, that is exactly what I did. Those text messages flew through the air and into the cellular system, only to end up at the receiving end, my editor’s phone. I was inviting her on a lunch date. A few more digits typed and it was agreed. We were going to meet at the Caddie Shack restaurant, located in the Casper Municipal Golf course club house.

Casper Food Critic- Plows Diner Proves Little

Casper Food Critic — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:03:39 +0000

Don’t judge a book by its cover. Those immortal words spoken by every mother in the world reverberated through my brain as I drove toward my next assignment. On an almost forgotten patch of land, on the edge of mainstream Casper, sits a small place called Plows Diner.

Casper Food Critic- HQ BBQ Stands For 'High Quality'

Casper Food Critic — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 23:21:48 +0000

As the clock struck 12’, I shot up from my chair. I normally have an open lunch break where I can mosey across town and select my eatery with care. Today however, I had exactly one hour. With gas pedal to the floor like a rocket at full throttle, I raced across town as if I were trying to escape Earth’s gravitational pull. HQ BBQ was my mission and no time constraint could abort this scientific endeavor.

Casper Food Critic- Prime Time Not Ready For The 'Prime Time'

Casper Food Critic — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 23:02:28 +0000

The ring of a phone and a few passing phrases. That is all it takes, and I’m off like a shot. Across Casper I go, like an antelope at full throttle. I was sent to direct some folks into their next job site. Conveniently, this all transpired near lunchtime. A few minutes later, I find myself headed toward my next review, posse in tow.

We decide on gorging at Primetime Restaurant, located inside the Sunrise shopping center’s bowling alley. A quick check of their website on my smart phone indicates “Our burgers were just voted #1 in the state by our customers!” My fate was sealed and the vote was in. I was going to test the claim and lay waste to some beef.

Casper Food Critic- Chopstix Stix With You

Casper Food Critic — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 22:50:58 +0000

I ask long time Casper residents to close their eyes and think back. What feels like a few millennia ago, do you remember what resided at the intersection of Second Street and Beverly, on the Southwest corner? At the time, the small structure was a Taco Bell that for many years pumped out cheap fast food for passing motorists.

Casper Food Critic- Frosty's Makes You Feel American

Casper Food Critic — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 22:38:26 +0000

After a brief Facebook survey, my palate and I made it to Frosty’s Bar and Lounge. Located on Center Street across from the Flex Complex, Frosty’s is in a prime location for any weary downtown diners. Despite having passed by the business for several decades, I had relegated it to the back of my mind. It’s nothing more than another bar trying to make a quick buck off of the working man, or so I thought until today.

Casper Food Critic- Pho Saigon Isn't Faux Oriental

Casper Food Critic — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 21:47:55 +0000

With extreme trepidation I approached the building. I had heard good things, but how good could it be? Previous eateries in the same building had at best, left me in want, and screaming toward the door at worst. With my bravest foot forward, I entered Pho Saigon at the corner of Beverly and 12th Street in Casper.

National Emergency Alert System Will Be Tested Today

Rick Darcy — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 17:54:09 +0000

Within a few hours, broadcasters all over the country will have an answer to the question some emergency planners have been wondering about for years. If the White House activates the “national emergency network” (EAN) code that’s part of the Emergency Alert System (EAS), will the message actually reach stations from coast to coast?
