I see mountain bike tire tracks!..💪

Would a resident park their car across the street and pay? I see zero parking :(

GSR… I saw Alan Jackson. It was such a beautiful evening. Quite memorable. I only saw Def Leppard downtown. I can’t recall the opening act right now. I would have really enjoyed DL’s first visit.

I visited Reno last year and my friend who lives there took me all around to Pyramid Lake and Virginia City, Carson City etc ... and I just loved it! Beautiful state, and sometimes I do consider moving there!

Wow, phenomenal work, I always enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.

Years and years ago my mom was gardening and found a big rusty, handmade nail that would have fallen off some wagon passing by in the 1800s. I don’t know what ever happened to that nail. But I recognized seeing similar nails in museums around the West.

Very Cool old bldg. I always have wanted to go inside Thanks for the tour and the history

I was born and raised in Reno and now live in California. I subscribed because I really liked this story and learning about the Flannigan Building and the town Flannigan, who knew?

Sheep herders and Nevada, good ole history. I live in Wadsworth. I don’t think you have produced a historical video in Wadsworth, Nv. The old train RR round house was historical. Can you please create a video on Wadsworth?

the river was relocated there is a book about it

Love your Channel, use to live in Carson City back in the late 1980’s love all the history of that area

Again.... another great story and more great history of Reno. Keep it up!!

wow, chalk up another great one, Steve! i've long wondered what the inside of the old Flanigan Warehouse looked like -- somehow i had no idea it was open as a functioning store! looks like a great place, so now i need to check it out.

MORE, MORE, MNORE!!!! [OLD 70'S SONG REFERENCE]

no ducks in your Jeep?

Steve! Another fine presentation! Nice opening background tune....It's used as well by Chris Guinn on his "Letsdig18" channel. The photo you use for the SP Cab Forward locomotive coming toward the diamond at Flannigan is, I believe, either a Class AC (Articulated Consolidation) -11 or -12. There was not much difference between the two versions. Only one of the AC-12 units remains, and it is at the California Railroad Museum in Sacramento. Despite their size, these locomotives could haul passenger trains of between 10-14 cars at a rated speed of 60+ MPH. The Cab Forwards were designed to handle both freight and passenger service over "tunnel and snow gallery-happy" Donner Pass and in the Siskiyou/Cascade Ranges of the Oregon/California border. AC-12 = en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Pacific_class_AC-12 AC-11 = en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Pacific_class_AC-11 The previous, large locomotives of similar size and pulling power used on the Modoc Line were of the Class AC-9. Originally built as coal burners for the Southern Pacific's Sunset Route through New Mexico and Arizona (Subbutiminous - which is low in percentage of Sulphur = more of the coal must be burned to get the same BTU output - was cheap and plentiful). Once the locomotives were no longer required on the Sunset Route due to the arrival of the more efficient, oil-burning AC-11 and AC-12 power, the AC-9s were changed to oil-burners and relegated to duties in areas like the Modoc Line from Alturas to Fernley. The late raconteur, bon vivant, photographer, and author, Lucius Beebe once wrote of the AC-9 as being, "...like a Silurian Monster out of the Book of Job." These locomotives were designed to run at nearly 75 MPH on the rather flat/low-rolling landscape of the Southwest through which they operated. But, as used on the Modoc Line, they could "dig down and get ugly" hauling heavy freight drags without the need of "helpers" plugged into the middle of the train or as the pushing locomotive(s) at the rear. They were not designed for passenger service. AC-9 = en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Pacific_class_AC-9 Only three 2-8-8-4 Yellowstone types (SP AC-9) remain on static display in the US, but not one SP AC-9 escaped the scrapper's torch. www.steamlocomotive.com/locobase.php?country=USA&wheel=2-8-8-4&railroad=dmir#334 SP 4294, Sacramento: www.californiarailroad.museum/store/product/cab-forward-4294-southern-pacific-railroads-signature-locomotive As a side note, much of the water available for steam locomotives in the Eastern California/Nevada deserts was so high in mineral content that additives such as Soda Ash were used to keep the water "soft" = which helped prevent caliche and other similar mineral deposits from coating/hardening inside the boiler tubes and making the production of steam less efficient. Locomotive Firemen would frequently "blow down" the boilers to help discharge the contaminants/titrated minerals from those tubes. Keep the wonderful "Tales of Reno" coming! Best to you and yours!

I used to work in an old warehouse by the railroad yards in Sparks. Whenever I needed parts to fix something in the building, quite often I had to go to Flannigan's Hardware, because they were the only place in the area that had replacement parts for those old buildings. As for that tunnel, that could be a future episode, if you don't mind getting dirty.

Had and still have relations that were involved with Flanagin. Hellers from Fish Springs and Bonhams. Jerry and Sue Bonham whent to school there and are still with us.I lived right up the road from the town site, at one time.

I’d love to have you come over the state line and continue along the Lincoln Highway. I’m a manager at Poor Red’s Bbq in El Dorado. If you ever want to come explore gold country, I’d be happy to accommodate. We have a lot of history and I think it would be a great opportunity all around.

Great episode! Thank you.

Outstanding video! I'm entertained and educated at the same time; what's not to like?

You deserve a Pliny for sure 😊

💪

Great video Steve! I love old buildings that have been saved, updated minimally, and still in use. This one was awesome!

I knew about Flanagan as the crossing between the western pacific and southern pacific, didn’t know anything else about it or Mr Flanagan or the building on 4th street I’ve driven by a thousand times. Pretty cool. I delivered parlay cards to shanty Dolans up until a couple weeks ago when Caesars changed my route. I was wondering if there was a connection between Tom Dolan and the owner of the ole shanty. Guess I should have talked to him more. Thanks so much for this show. Really enjoyed it…

No need to mention why bicycles are in the rafters, I'll travel to Reno from Kentucky and ask the owner.

What is going on with the many bikes in the rafters? Great show.

Hey man cool channel, Im a nevada boy through and through, been hunting/exploring this place for 35 years and theres always something new

Steve, that was great! Thank you. Great local owner and his knowledge of the building is amazing to see. He cares and so do you. I live with the parents of Shanty Dolan's owners and I think Mrs. Dolan and I will be shopping his store very soon. I'll tell him to cut you in on the commish...

Great video, Thank you I always enjoy the videos you do

I'm going to go on a sidetrack (or diversion) here. I was born and raised in Boise, idaho. My grandparents, cousins, etc. owned several farms around Idaho Falls, Idaho (both my parents graduated HS from Idaho Falls HS and went to ISU, while I went to BSU). We spent a lot of time crossing the Idaho desert. Occasionally, we were stopped by Basque sheepherders (not to be confused with the Star Wars, "nerf herders") while they crossed the Idaho desert. While, I am not Basque, the region between Boise and Reno have a lot of Basque people and many, many fine restaurants. Go check them out. Most are severed family style (you share a table with random people). And if you happen by Jordan Valley, Oregon, there is a Basque handball court that you just might be able to pick up a game.

I could listen to Ed tell stories all day. What an interesting man. If only that elevator could talk what stories IT could tell. Outstanding presentation as usual.

That hearse. The tunnel. Wow! Another great story about my favorite city. That owner really warmed up to you - he started a little hesitant but was spouting out stories and practically breaking teapots to show you the safe, by the end!

Wow another great video Steve! So much history. That elevator is incredible! Keep up the amazing work

I love that building! That's OLD! I woud've guessed (and did) around 1915... Back in the 90's I bought an antique (replica) novelty boot-jack shaped like a cootie bug there. I don't use it to take my boots off (i'm usually barefoot) but hung it on my wall. I'm drinking a WINTER RIDE double-bock lager from some brewery in San Jose. Dark, bitter + delicious. A beer that bites back!

They don't build things like they used to! Thanks for the amazing tour!

Makes you wonder if the cost of maintaining the pool was just too great for these establishments. They sure did have that old motor lodge look and feel of the mid century. Classic.

Amazing!! I need to check out the Forever Young furniture store!!

Very cool.

Curious if the Cherry Glen Way (17:10) sign is legit or a novelty. Lost streets of Reno episode?

wow!!!!! so cool.....is there a ghost?

What a great story!!!! Thinking that underground tunnel may have been a block ice drop from the box cars to supply the meat company ice house across the tracks. Bet he sells that sled-mounted hearse now!

Thank you I always wondered

flanigan is right where they do the high sierra fly in

Wow. Excellent work!! If you like this, you would love the books, "Reno Now and Then" Vol. I and II by Neal Cobb. It makes me a little sad seeing some of the "progress" that Reno has not made in many ways. I understand that things change, but it seems like the joke is on history sometimes. Loved your video.

If you're into Nevada Railroad history you know about Flanagan.

Cheers

Really enjoyed the Eddie cam clips!

It's too bad Tiki dropped in popularity, the drinks are truly fabulous.

Awesome!! Thank you. Love mid century modern! This is my new favorite youtube channel.
