Where are the "unique" things about Reno? I would hope you have at least one!
ok.. from a guy that has lived in Reno for many years of my life..
the Truckee river bridge on Virginia street. is known as divorce bridge... get married in Vegas.. divorced in Reno.. many throw their wedding rings off this bridge.. in the summer time you can find scuba divers in the river in this area looking for rings...
on the same note.. the pawn shops in Reno have to most extensive collection of wedding rings.. of any pawn shops in any other city..
the Truckee river does not flow to an ocean... it just flows into pyramid lake no water flows out.. of that lake and that lake never gets any bigger...
Pyramid lake is a rare home for one species of fish.. that is one of the oldest continually living species on planet earth.. it pre dates dinosaurs
the mountains around Reno are home to the bristlecone pine tree.. the oldest living things on earth..many of which are older than Jesus... literally.. 2-3000 years old.. and still able to reproduce..
Harrahs auto collection... that is just plain cool....imagine a Boss Hogg style Cadillac.. covered completely in silver dollars.... lots of cool stuff there.
Reno is a cool city I love it when I am there.
