Within Reno there are industrial areas located next to commercial banks, horse pastures next to supermarkets, and residential areas next to casinos. While this could have created tensions within the community, the people in Reno have instead accepted that their city is multi-faceted and are tolerant of their neighbors, and it is this acceptance which makes me proud to have grown up there. By the way, I'm hoping to include some interesting pictures of Reno I have taken over the last couple years which show a point of view most people haven't seen, if I ever get around to scanning them in. This picture was taken from the corner of Skyline and Cashill Blvds in Southwest Reno. Hopefully this picture shows that there is more to Reno than just the downtown area.
Many people live apart from the Reno gaming industry, both figuratively and literally.
This was also shot in the summer of 1993. I had gone there once to take my driver's test, but I had not been there since. I went inside, and one of the officers was kind enough to give me a tour of the headquarters. I took a lot of pictures, but really liked this one for some reason, so I decided to add it. Twin City Surplus lies on 4th street in eastern Reno near the Sparks border.
