I moved to Reno in 1977, and thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Great, fun place to live, raise a family and make a living.
When I left in 1986, it had doubled in size, and had started to become the mad house it is today.

Reno had one secret I loved Fly Fishing for Trout in the middle of the City. Also on way to Reno was Tricker Rive another great Fly Fishing Stream that did not grt much press.
Remember going up their to do Camel Races in Virginia City, stayed downtown at Newish Silver Legacy, it was very nice.
Had to spend a couple weeks in Reno about 15 years ago. Stayed at a place connected to Silver Legacy by that walkway deal. Liked that stretch. Liked Virginia City when I checked it out. As others have said there’s some sketchy stuff walking around downtown. But I wasn’t packing and made it out fine.
Fremont street same. Step outside and you are hit with a wave of heat and weed stench.The best thing about the Strip is, you don’t have to buy any dope, just breathe deeply
those problems are the city commissioners and the police. they dont care obviously.
downtown reno was the real city's gambling and nightlife. bigger casinos drew the people away from it.
but now with casinos everywhere people from california where most of renos business came from dont have to make the long drive over donner pass to get action.
