Reno Blog

Reno isn't called the Biggest Little City for nothing. While it's true that you can get to the airport in less than a half-hour from just about any place in town, it's also true that there is more going on here than you can imagine, let alone keep track of.  So in order to stay up on all of the latest events and activities, don't miss our timely and informative Reno blog. On a weekly basis, a Truckee Meadows insider will give you the background information on all your favorite goings-on and clue you in to new opportunities to get out and about. Forget about the Reno of yesteryear, when gambling was the main focus of the area and people came here in order to get a divorce. These days, participation opportunities abound whether you are a footloose and fancy-free Millennial, a parent trying to find something to catch the interest of kids or teens or someone just coming into the prime of your life. In fact, as you become a steady reader of the blog, you'll be amazed at how diversified the community has become over the past years, with something to offer all ages and all interests whether you've lived here forever or are visiting for the first time.

March Madness: A Weekend of Reno Sports

By Bryan Akerley | Tuesday, March 6, 2018
Reno is, surprisingly, a truly great place to be a sports fan. Think about it – geographically, the city is just a short drive to the Bay Area for huge football, baseball, basketball and hockey teams. For all other West Coast teams, well, Reno isn’t too far from Los Angeles and the Pacific Northwest either. Plus Reno... Read More

Reno's Doughnut Roundup

By Bryan Akerley | Tuesday, February 20, 2018
I know, I know. It’s only February, and anyone who chose on January 1 to commit to a wholesome, healthy and decidedly doughnut-free lifestyle in 2018 is (hopefully) still on that track.

Valentine’s Day is a strange holiday; it’s loved by some, hated by others and shrugged off by everyone else. I think it has something to do with the idea that this date night, above all others, feels the most planned out,... Read More
