Beatty Is Closer Than You Think

By Daniel Grevich · Featuring Ginny Faulkner, Beatty Chamber of Commerce

Plenty of people have driven through Beatty. Far fewer have actually stopped — fuel at the edge of town, maybe a snack, then back on Highway 95. That’s the mistake. Ginny Faulkner of the Beatty Chamber of Commerce on the mountains, the food, and why the drive stops being the boring part.

This town is full of stories — the neighbor who worked the Test Site, the family shop that's outlived three booms, the person you can't stop talking about because the whole town has to hear this. Big laughs, hard years, quiet triumphs — sometimes all three in one life. This space celebrates them: people and places alike, in their own words. Nominate someone you admire — or tell us your own.
