Today's riddle: Why are crows so alert and curious? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Cheyenne biker killed in Nationway crash Sept. 5 (oilcity.news) — A 31-year-old Cheyenne man died after crashing his motorcycle early Sept. 5 while riding westbound on Nationway, a key route through central Cheyenne. According to a preliminary Wyoming Department of Transportation report, he left the roadway, traveled through the median, then lost control and was thrown from his bike; he was not wearing a helmet. Investigators say weather and road conditions likely were not factors, but details may change as the case develops.
2. Cheyenne Historic Airport Terminal National Register Bid Stalled (news-usa.today) — Cheyenne's historic airport terminal is stuck in limbo as efforts to secure a National Register of Historic Places designation have stalled, leaving its long-term protection and funding uncertain. Preservation advocates say the delay threatens an important piece of the city's aviation heritage, while local officials must juggle preservation costs with modern airport needs. Upcoming municipal discussions could determine whether the bid is revived or alternative funding emerges.
3. PREP VOLLEYBALL: Gering tops Central in four sets (wyomingnews.com) — Cheyenne Central's volleyball team dropped a four-set home match to Gering, Nebraska on Saturday, despite a strong night from sophomore hitter Deijah Ard-Cessna. The Indians now turn their focus to hosting Laramie at 6 p.m. Tuesday. Pine Bluffs also wrapped up the Big Horn Invitational with two wins, highlighted by balanced offensive and defensive performances.
4. Laramie County weekly arrest report (9/4/26–9/11/26) (capcity.news) — Law enforcement agencies in Laramie County, based in and around Cheyenne, have released their weekly arrest log for Sept. 4–11, detailing a wide range of alleged offenses from DUI and domestic battery to drug possession and probation violations. The list isn't comprehensive and excludes juveniles, sexual charges, and some bonded-out individuals, but offers residents a snapshot of recent criminal activity.
5. Union Pacific Big Boy No. 4014 America 250 Tour: Exclusive Gallery (hotrod.com) — Union Pacific's legendary Big Boy No. 4014 recently completed a coast-to-coast America 250 tour that began and ended in Cheyenne, highlighting the city as the locomotive's home base.
