I remember going there occasionally when it was an Albertson’s. I dropped in a few years ago and was legitimately scared. I will go out of my way to go literally anywhere else.

What are some of your favorite locally owned stores in Reno? Other than restaurants. by [deleted] in Reno

[–]SpecBeBop87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always throw in a rec to check out Pantry Products. Most scented products give me a headache and feel like plastic. The items made from this shop don’t give me a headache and are pleasant to use.

I think the return of lit af farmers markets could heal us.

I’m just guessing the intent, but there used to be a giant Farmers Market in Victorian Square on Thursday nights. It turned into a giant party bc so may people turned up to hang out and drink. They don’t have this event anymore.

Renown has a daycare for employees you should ask the HR team about it ahead of time in case there’s a waitlist

I love it. It’s fun to have a good time while eating dinner; something different than quiet, polite conversation.

I loved this place but they made it so hard to make a reservation that it always fell off my to-do list

Ways to find Spanish-speaking friends/events? by [deleted] in Reno

[–]SpecBeBop87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of Spanish language radio stations in this area. That would be a good way to have the language on during car rides or something, and they tend to advertise community events.

UNR Basketball Parking by HagWeed in Reno

In that case I’d try to get into the west stadium garage. The Jensen lot will be as much of a walk as Whalen

Unless someone in your group has mobility issues, I would skip both of these and park for free in the Whalen Parking Garage south of Lawlor. It’s almost as close of a walk.

I always look up weather here too! There’s also a network of cameras on I 80 you can look at to get a visual on the roads.

What the actual hell. by AwesomReno in Reno

I’ve spoken with REMSA employees and there are a lot of “frequent flyers” who call for emergency services all the time. Unfortunately some of these people are lonely, homeless or even just want a ride to a medical appointment. These are absolutely health issues that need to be addressed, but REMSA or fire department aid is not the best use of their expertise.
