Reno Featured in one of the most read Magazine in the United States

It was around 11:00 PM Sept. 30.  I was in one of the most crowded social places in Reno (Walmart) browsing through the only magazine I read. Halfway through I noticed a familiar picture I see every time I drop off my folks for their 'weekly' Downtown dates. It was our beloved RENO Downtown signature sign!

"I'm sure it's something ridiculous again, maybe about the infamous show RENO 911", I thought.  But no.  It was an article made by Tom Chiarella (warning: there are a few foul words in the article) it is the best and most honest article I have ever read about Reno.

"I want to say this clearly: You cannot deconstruct Reno. It's ruddy and rock hard, self-evident and openhearted. Reno is of a whole. It is a city, not an event. It is clean, safe, small, open, easy to get around in, cheap, seedy in the right ways, elegant in its own small measures. The airport? Intensely easy. Crowds? None that you can't handle. Hotels? None over a hundred dollars. There are mountains -- real ones -- lush, snowcapped, visually magnetic, utterly proximate. In Vegas, the mountains are dead hills in the distance. You know where you are when you're in Reno. You are in the new Vegas."
