In a significant development for Sedona's local governance, the City Council voted 5-2 to formally censure Mayor Scott Jablow on September 10, with five of those members also calling for his immediate resignation.

In a town as popular as Sedona, it can feel like a genuine accomplishment to find a trail that isn't packed with people. The Javelina Trail, for those in the know, is one of those special places.

When I was a kid, the game was everything. Baseball wasn’t just something we played, it was the heartbeat of the neighborhood.

It doesn’t take much looking around to see that Sedona has a housing problem. You hear it everywhere at the grocery store, at the coffee shop, and from friends who suddenly have to pack up and leave town because the rent went up again. Families are being squeezed out, and workers are stuck commuting long distances just to keep their jobs here.

As cooler weather and shorter days return to Northern Arizona, many residents are looking forward to evenings around the fire pit or heading into the woods for camping trips.

There’s a certain shift in the air when fall begins to stir in Northern Arizona. The mornings turn crisp, the light softens, and suddenly it feels as though the year is exhaling after months of desert heat.
