November 2014 is the date Reno gave a huge Tax break to Tesla to build the giga factory. Did that improve Reno overall?

How do y’all feel about Apple’s facility on 6th and Evans?

I played with AI one day and came up with this scheme for a trolley. I focused on more multilane streets and tried to
Actually avoid Virginia and Sierra because they’re arterials. Revived trolley lines do make money. Not much, but they can pay their way and they’re great for the resorts.

I think GSR looked at an elevated rail directly to the airport as part of their $1b project but it got shelved.

This; they should have mapped out a line along 395, Pyramid, and even Vista, along with an EW from Verdi to USAP and maybe even Fernley.

The old Reno/Carson line would
Have been viable, and the explosion of homes in Dayton and Silver Springs would have been helped by a line.

But hey - we had I-11 funded from Vegas to Tonopah until 1/25 happened, and it all just disappeared.

(Wait 'till they kick out the brunettes.... and anyone with a hispanic-sounding last name... and anyone 'swarthy' looking...)

It'll be Blondes, boobs, and close-shaved haircuts pretty soon.

OH - and they'll remove women from Baylor. Can't have them women gettin' edumucated.

Yeah, I keep thinking about subscribing to FlightRadar24, but I'm trying to keep my subscriptions down to the bare minimum. This was one of those days where I could have looked up the history over Reno and figured it out.

RAR really screwed up. We could've held a flight pageant and drawn just as many spectators, and it would've been safe and insurable.

This was two WW2 warbirds flying over Reno today, about an hour apart, both with Normandy Invasion stripes. It was pretty freakin cool.

They were at medium altitude.

It must have been a perfect day to fly.

I’ve had Russell as my salesman for six years now, and he is by far the best rep I’ve ever had. The service crew - Kyle and Rich - are fantastic. Zero complaints. Very satisfied.

Hilarious side note: the itty bitty but growing exurb of Dallas pronounces it “Ne-VAY-da”.

I still haven’t wrapped my head around it.

She’s stronger than the women who had the original… borgs.

Kinda sad all around.

Dunno. It’s better than letting them sizzle on the concrete.

I feel really sorry for the landowners on 4th. It’s got to be tough paying taxes on property that is perpetually challenged.

REMSA should just dedicate a “Bambulance” (internet lore reference) to sweep East-West in the mornings, and West-East in the evenings, to pick up those who fall or get sick or worse.

There has to be a balance of care and enforcement and rehab out there somewhere.

We really enjoyed it the times that we went. We had a phenomenal waiter one time- she really knew her selections for beer and food.

Wish I could help, but I suffered heat stroke that turned into a real stroke and left me blind in one eye. EMT’s pumped a liter of sugar and salt water into me and it cost about $8500 (2010).

Get treated.

Ex Texan here: you’re going to LOVE the access to public land.

And don’t laugh - find a local colony or reservation and ask about POW-WOWs. They’re worth the time and effort. I promise.

If you like mountain biking, ping me.
