37 cool things about Reno, Nevada from a 37 year resident.

[@shanecaudle2826]

Your video is a great reminder of the beauty in Reno. I lived there for five years and now I'm coming back. Im excited.

[@SteveTRYK]

Wonderful! Cheers!

[@cheriereevessperr2942]

Sunsets, yes. But those sunrises are beautiful as well!

[@peter9274]

I love Reno/Sparks! People are nice, low traffic, can get anywhere in town within 15 minutes, always sunny, mild winters, nice hot summers, great night life, great outdoor culture, great mountain biking/hiking trails, all you can eat sushi....etc

[@johnm6399]

My daughter moved out to Reno 3 years ago. I have visited about 6 or 7 times so far. Absolutely Love Reno!!!

[@SteveTRYK]

Sweet - thanks for watching!

No 38, we have you!!! Great show! Cool dude.

[@SteveTRYK]

Thanks for watching! 38 and counting!

[@jeannebalderston2051]

I ;ived in Reno from 1958 to 1964

[@garyporter8153]

Left in 1992 after 21 years of living in Reno, brothers still there. While I still enjoy my visits, Reno is not the same, not sure if it's the influx of so many Californians, but whatever the reason it is not as peaceful, not as clean, and not as safe...By the way at the start of your video the second arch shown is the timeline for "dragging" Virginia St. back in 74 thru 76. Thanks for your video!

[@SteveTRYK]

Thanks for watching! Reno is evolving!

[@moonmothlemavely9042]

Reno is better off with fewer grumpy “it’s not the same” boomers.

[@garyporter8153]

@@moonmothlemavely9042 dig ole moth...the type that if you don't see it my way, leave...the immature amongst us enjoys that thinking.

[@vickyagnew1651]

Nowhere is the same as it was in 1992.

[@ddhu5396]

Not a boomer & I agree. Terrible city planning has filled in all the open spaces with useless warehouses or desperately overpriced apartments. What made Reno pretty is mostly gone. The pace & vibe has fully changed for the worse, it becomes more like the bay area by the minute. Change is inevitable sure but it is sad to see change ruining everything. Been here 20 years, need to get out.

[@mixflip]

Spring seems to last about 2 weeks lol. I love the close proximity to thousands of miles of off road trials. I can't wait to hit the Hunter Lake trail which is just minutes from my house. Genoa Peak trail has views over Lake Tahoe!!!!!!

[@TJDawgs72]

I got 10 more years before I retire and I plan on retiring in Reno, Carson City or somewheres in between. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and have lived in the Midwest for the last 25 years. I’ve been scouting potential retirement spots and I narrowed it down to 3 places: Santa Fe, Reno or Carson City or Wenatchee in Washington state. Every place has its issues but Reno seems to be the plus with more upside…at least for me. Thanks for the video.

[@SteveTRYK]

Thanks great to hear! Good luck with your (Reno) decision! ;-) Cheers!

[@theshow16]

Excellent work. Just a few reasons we love Reno. Love the bloopers at the end!!

[@SteveTRYK]

Thanks - I excel at those...! ;-)

[@gagss2585]

I live in Sacramento which sucks but I spent a good month out in reno with my ex cause she lived there and i fell in love with it. You got great points and good video!

[@SteveTRYK]

Thanks for watching!

[@danielcovert1023]

I was born and raised in the Sacramento area for 30 years. I’ve lived in Reno for a little over a year. I really really love reno.

[@unchainedsilver9702]

Was in Reno last week and loved it and been a few times on the past ...The city has lots of history and i found the people to be really nice ....I think the DT still needs some love and has lots of untapped potential to become something good again ....Love the channel and all the knowledge and history to bring to it ....

[@SteveTRYK]

Thanx for watching!

[@michaely7469]

Thank You Steve. I watch your vids way too much. Youvare an inspiration to me. I'm a native , (Saints, 52), I give thanks daily that I am so blessed.

[@SteveTRYK]

Thanks to you for watching! Cheers!

[@doug2078]

When i graduated in1982 . A good friend of mine relocated to Reno. I visited there many times over the years I always had a fun time. Lake Tahoe , Pyramid lake , Virginia city , I went to all those places. Remember the Ponderosa up by lake Tahoe ? I was sad when my friend moved to Oregon. Cool Video !!!

[@SteveTRYK]

Thanks Doug!

[@agabaakuh6718]

I love RENO!

[@kellyshea92]

I miss when houses went for $150k 6 years ago. Our state and city is going down the gutter. I had to get a CCW because I dont feel safe walking home at night in south reno from work.

[@Canecorso14]

U need a ccw to carry I thought it was like Texas over there more relaxed gun laws

For me, artown in July is the best thing about Reno, especially free concerts everyday. The worst is the wind, unless you’re bald.

[@E1DOLHANZ]

I lived in Reno for a couple years and enjoyed it for many of the reasons mentioned. It did bother me though, to see so many mid-century modern buildings in irreparable states of decay, with seemingly little effort at preservation. Those little hole-in-the-wall motels and diners and bars and gas stations wirth their tacky Googie MCM architecture and signage. That style is associated with Reno more than anywhere else, and it seems like a missed opportunity not to see it preserved and incorporated into new constructions.

[@seantaylor2046]

So true. This town was rocking back in its heyday of the 30"s 40" and the home architecture proves it. So many cool old houses and huge basements in most of them. It was a basement town.

[@Smallwineries]

I was there from 86-95 and dealt blackjack at the Eldorado the whole time .. I loved it.

[@Kittymay98]

I was a dealer too @ the Eldorado. I left I think in 96? Cheers 🍷

[@1986mathew]

Born and raised in Reno since 86, love this city and everything about it

[@MyKeeP81]

theres a much bigger and better world out there lol

[@mariobarrera9052]

I love it here … great video- every place has its problems- overall 👍👌☺️🙌🏽

[@unchainedsilver9702]

One thing you forgot to mention is the food , so many great restaurants in Reno with very reasonable prices compared to other cities ....

[@Stryker200000]

Born and raised here in the Virgina Foothills in 84 and learned two new things. Very nice. Not sure if you would count it as its washoe valley area, but the arch bridge is, if I remember correctly, one of the largest of its kind in either the US or world. Cant remember

[@SteveTRYK]

I think its the US - not sure though! Cheers!

[@dianemartin190]

My family moved to Sparks in 1968. Harrah's had a job fair in the Bay area and both parents were hired as blackjack dealers to work at his club. Dad joke for you: Did you know Reno was so close to hell that you could see "Sparks". 🙂 About the old auto collection, it is something I still brag about. As kids we were even allowed to get into some of the cars and there were airplanes in there as well. The entrance to the museum had a lot of cool stuff, but my favorite was a fully dressed mannequin in a dusty giant glass dome and the stuffed 2- headed calf. Virginia City used to have the Mark Twain museum and that had such wonderful stuff! But I think they had to close it down due to some sort of copyright thing. VC also had a jail museum that included a mannequin dressed in prison stripes seated in a gas chamber! Don't remember when that was taken down but someone up there might still have that info. I moved away in 1999 and though it's been 24 years, I didn't think I missed living there, but your videos make me want to come home. Thank you for showing the world its beauty and for sharing Reno's rich history.

[@dianemartin190]

I just found your Mark Twain story! Thank you for researching all that info! I learned some new things about him and the area.

[@jlambert6084]

Born and raised in Reno. Got too big for me. I live in South Lake Tahoe now. Not too far to come visit

Finally named streets in Reno after old Italians who raised cattle here isee so many big belt buckles cowboy booth and 10 gal hats but no horse friends run cattle and sheep red rock area ride horses everyday and water ball cap and hiking boots too many coca cola cowboys in area ps my family been in Reno since 1905

[@edwoz8741]

You forgot one of the best things about living here is no state income tax.

[@SteveTRYK]

I thought about it but decided it was more of a Nevada perk than a Reno one. It's a great perk regardless! Thanks!

[@maybeerainmaybeesnow]

I might be making the move to your town! Much appreciated!

[@SteveTRYK]

Welcome in in advance!

[@richardbinell2053]

The best thing about Reno is it's the best jumping off point to attend Burning Man. How could you miss that?

[@SteveTRYK]

Maybe a part two... there are other things I've thought about as well!

[@edwardrodriguez9140]

Zapatarito descuento!!!!

[@IrvingWaldorf]

I do not know what year you made this video but I lived there from 1950 to 1961 and Reno had a vibrant downtown which had something for tourist and locals alike but the last few times I've been there it was dead. It was a ghost town with many many empty buildings buildings for rent buildings for sale etc. and it was really tragic compared to what I experiencedIn the 50s and I'm wondering who is guilty of allowing the demolition of the Mapes hotel and most beautiful building there and an iconic building which should never have been demolished.

[@mrstats2614]

Last year for the Air Races :(

[@SteveTRYK]

That is a bummer.

[@mannyg4523]

Why?

[@gaiaosborne]

@@mannyg4523 two major incidents in the last couple decades. In 2011 one of the planes smashed into the grandstand during the event - 11 people died and 70 were injured. And then just last year a pilot crashed and died during the event.

[@jssomewhere6740]

37 years ok prospect, let's not get too excited. Give it a bit more time and you may get patched in. Assuming you survive. Hahahaha 😂🤣😅😆 I'm hacking on ya a bit although I'm 3rd generation from Reno .

Washoe County Library.

[@frankaltman8789]

How is it for senior citizens? No mention of it

[@SteveTRYK]

There are many retirees here, esp. in the Minden/Garnderville area. Great scenery, services and comparatively more affordable housing.

[@frankaltman8789]

Right now I am paying way too much here in Taxachusetts. How much would you say is condominium and taxes there annually? Trying to lower my expenses at age 70!!!

[@SteveTRYK]

@@frankaltman8789 Frank - I would go to realtor.com, click on an interesting property and then click on "property history". You can see several years of property taxes for that address there. Nevada is not out of line with other states in that department. Good luck!

[@deadlinefortheendtribulati4437]

When Reno federal agents are thieves you know that the city is no good. A thief from motel owners is one thing but when law enforcement takes the storage and sales it then the whole country of federal government and agents are corrupt I no longer have a picture of my mom and don't have my dad's flag from his military burial.

[@ericgrey6835]

Are they any publications/books on Reno that I can read?

[@SteveTRYK]

Hey Eric - if you're into the historical angle, I can recommend: "The Rise of the Biggest Little City" by Dwayne Kling. I also like "A Short History of Reno" by Land and Land. Cheers!

[@deadlinefortheendtribulati4437]

The love of money is in everyone's hearts and their are no good samaritan 4th street has plenty of homeless and there is plenty of land for 8x20 movable homes but they much rather see the homeless in the streets passed out.
