NEVADA CITY, Calif. June 6, 2025 – In recent weeks, a giant plastic hot dog sitting in the window at 230 Broad Street in downtown Nevada City has caught the eye of locals and visitors alike.

With a slightly new name, a logo refresh and more than four decades of family legacy committed to customer service and the community, Volz Automotive is looking toward the future. “It’s more about the Volz family than the Volz brothers,” said owner John Volz Jr., who works alongside his sister Michelle managing the company started in 1982 by his father, John Volz Sr. who retired five years ago.

NEVADA CITY, Calif. May 27, 2025 – Today’s Nevada County Board of Supervisors’ agenda contained a Proclamation proclaiming the month of June as Nevada County Pride Month. District 2 Supervisor Robb Tucker pulled the item from consent and said this resolution specifically shouldn’t be on the consent portion of the agenda. “I just don’t know if these symbolic resolutions that are somewhat controversial is what we should be doing here at the county.” He abstained on the vote that passed 4-0.

NEVADA CITY – Are you homeless or formerly homeless? If so, you know what it looks like from the bottom up because everybody was looking down on you – maybe even including yourself. You have stories, real-life experiences – the quiet desperation of having no place to go to the bathroom; resentment at being woken up at 3 a.m. in the morning with a policeman’s flashlight in your face; the gnawing hunger of waiting for that free lunch on Thursday.

April 7, 2025 – As we currently find ourselves led by our national leaders into a full-blown trade war, the worst in decades, it is important to look at the last massive trade war we were in, and how it nearly destroyed America, triggering The Great Depression and World War II.
