A new Casper bagel shop will share a fifth-generation recipe with its patrons. The Casper Star-Tribune reports Carolyn Reilly started advertising her great-great-grandmother’s bagels on Facebook, and just a month later, she had so much demand that she was signing a lease for her own storefront. Olde World Bagels will offer classic flavors, like cinnamon raisin, and new creations, like Carolina Reaper. Reilly plans to offer personalized delivery, too.
A Rock Springs Catholic community is fighting to save its church. The Rock Springs Rocket Miner reports the Diocese of Cheyenne recently reaffirmed the closure of the 100-year-old Sts. Cyril and Methodius (SCM) Catholic Church. Parishioners, though, say the building is historic and not in as bad a shape as it seems. They’ve sent a formal legal request to the Dicastery for the Clergy in Rome to stop the closure and formed a nonprofit to help with costs should the church stay open.
