When you first set foot inside the doors of Bleu Café at 240 E. Winnie Lane in Carson City, the ambiance is reminiscent of a café from the streets of Old World Europe.

The atmosphere is light, airy and spacious. Tables and chairs are arranged around the 1,500 square-foot dining area to resemble seating at an outdoor café in famous Old World destinations like Paris or Rome.

Even the polished stone breakfast bar and dark wood hutch behind it have Old World charms to them.

February 7 is best known as ‘Super Bowl Sunday’ and there are plenty of parties going on around town to help you cheer for your favorite team.

Coldplay, Beyonce and Bruno Mars are scheduled to perform in this year’s halftime show.

I’ve compiled a list of where you can go to watch the game, and who’s throwing a party.

Playing with mud isn’t just for little kids. At Carson City Pottery, the fun of getting your hands dirty is for adults, too.

Robin McGregor, owner of Carson City Pottery with her husband, Rich, whimsically describes working with clay as feeling like a kid again.

“I love to feel the clay in my hands,” she said. “It gives me pleasure to throw.”

Just to be clear, “throwing” is the term used by pottery artists when shaping clay. It’s something Robin McGregor has been doing for 24 years since she first put clay in her hands.

A 27-year-old Carson City man was arrested early Monday in the 1400 block of North Edmonds Drive on a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.
