Laramie

It has been just over two months that the Laramie location for Mary's Mountain Cookies has been open but it is definitely getting caught up to speed with its impressive Cowboy State-themed decor on the inside. The new look of its new case in their lobby couldn't be more fitting.

This week, there were a couple different popular restaurants that announced they would be temporarily closing for the time being. While it's disappointing they can't be available, there is a huge bright spot in the form of one popular Indian food truck that is coming back to Laramie right away!

As we are just in the first 'official' days of summer, there have already been a couple of closures for restaurants in Laramie. It was just yesterday that a popular spot near the University of Wyoming announced it would be shutting its doors (at least for now), but another popular spot located in downtown Laramie will be closing down for the time being.

It is always sad having to mention any business that is forced to close its doors to the public for any reason whatsoever. It is especially a tough thing having to mention a particular spot that has quite the presence within the Laramie community. Not only that, but its proximity to the campus of the University of Wyoming.

According to a social media post released by the Laramie Police Department, a male subject called their dispatch team at 5:08 p.m., claiming he was armed with a large rifle and was wanting to shoot people at a business located in the area.

Guy Fieri and the Food Network seem to really be loving southeast Wyoming lately! Another restaurant in Laramie is about to be featured on one of Guy Fieri's shows. The last time our region was featured on the Food Network was when Guy Fieri featured Double Dub's on 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives'. This time, Fieri will feature another restaurant from Laramie on his show 'Guy's Grocery Games'.

Being in southeast Wyoming, we have really lucked out with the fact that Curt Gowdy State Park is right at our fingertips. The esteemed park located almost halfway between Cheyenne and Laramie always receives high praise from its tourists. In fact, recently, it was named as 'Lonely Planet's '5 Stunning State Parks That Rival National Parks'. While that is an awesome accolade from a travel publication, an even more well known publication as put Curt Gowdy State Park on an even more elite list.

This weekend was one for the record books, with many cities in southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle setting record low temperatures.

Interstate 80 between Laramie and Cheyenne is now open to all traffic in both directions.

Forgive the tongue twister in the title of this article but it's needed for the excitement of the fact that the Double Dub's episodes of 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' is airing just one week from today on Friday, May 20th. Not only that, but Double Dub's will be hosting watch parties for the episodes in both Cheyenne and Laramie.
