## Resource

Smoke from northern wildfires is turning downtown nights into hazy, smoky experiences — dimming mountain views and driving customers indoors. Bars like Bootleggers and Water Dog saw drops in outdoor traffic, with Water Dog even canceling al fresco service as the air turned thick and unpleasant. But not everyone’s feeling the hit — Trailhead’s owner says business is still steady, and locals are still out enjoying music and company, proving resilience in the haze.
