Vroom Vroom!<BR/><BR/>Coming home from Sturgis, we rode through the crazy Reno traffic on Saturday -- 15 hours in the saddle -- how crazy is that?! I waved. :) (I'm still exhausted!)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767640948725547960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15652952.post-1154742935208020112006-08-04T18:55:00.000-07:002006-08-04T18:55:00.000-07:00What a delightful blog---knitting and Reno, also!!...What a delightful blog---knitting and Reno, also!!!<BR/>I drive home from work three evenings a week serenaded by goings on at the Sands and the art festivities at Wingfield. Also enjoy being able to "meander" again down town.<BR/>So happy to see down town coming alive again after the brutal casinoization of it all.<BR/>Somehow though, I miss the old wooden structres that used to be at the river. Haven't quite got used to the Golden Gate Bridge at Wingfield Park.<BR/>BarbaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15652952.post-1154551665802961242006-08-02T13:47:00.000-07:002006-08-02T13:47:00.000-07:00Heh.

Nothing like going there and then Jungle Vino for a few glasses and good conversation. <BR/><BR/>I used to think Reno was some kind of sleazy place where the gamblers and divorcees went when they ran out of the money to stay in Vega$. Granted this was before I visited or moved here. Fell in love on my first visit. Within minutes likely. No matter what we do to our city we will always have our big blue sky and the wide open places to breathe and that's why I love Reno. <BR/><BR/>Now I know more about the city that has become my home and I am blind to the gambling (don't gamble) and instead see all the possibilities. There are so many cool little places and entertainment options as well as the huge array of outdoor activities. This city is really what each person wants it to be. Kind of like those new knitpicks options I suppose. *L*<BR/><BR/>The only thing left for people to do is just get out of their houses and decide what they want to explore. :D <BR/><BR/>Oh and Reno really is hell. I can see Sparks from here. :P<BR/><BR/>(Which was really funny on the 4th when I could see their fireworks from my backyard. *L*)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15652952.post-1154529609045647032006-08-02T07:40:00.000-07:002006-08-02T07:40:00.000-07:00I'm with you, when I was in a touring band, we pla...I'm with you, when I was in a touring band, we played in Reno a few times, and that is one rockin town!

As we passed down the river there was a dead tree with ladies undergarments hung all over it like christmas decorations. Right of passage? Dunno, but I donated my favourite little blue bra to it. Might still be there for all I know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15652952.post-1154462200768522442006-08-01T12:56:00.000-07:002006-08-01T12:56:00.000-07:00Wow!
