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.

I always enjoy reading the Lake Tahoe This Week posts by my colleagues over on our sister site, Tahoe.com. Sometimes they’ll do a piece like Five Interesting Facts About the Lake, and even though Tahoe is my bread and butter, I am usually happily surprised to learn something new from the blog. So this week, I thought... Read More

Leaf Peeping in Reno

By Keith Rugg | Wednesday, September 30, 2020
A little earlier this year, we took a look at instances in which the city of Reno showed up in literature, and at the top of the list was The City of Trembling Leaves by Walter Van Tilburg Clark. Well, I don’t know much about trembling, but this is the time of year when the leaves are supposed to be turning, so it... Read More

How You Gonna Keep the Pumpkins Down on the Farm?

By Keith Rugg | Tuesday, September 22, 2020
I’m one of those guys who thinks that the marketplace pushes holidays and events on us too early. I don’t like to see Halloween costumes go on sale until at least October 1, and I cringe when New Year’s decorations hit the shelves before we’ve even finished eating our Thanksgiving turkey. That being said, if there was... Read More

By Keith Rugg | Tuesday, September 15, 2020

Professional soccer. I’m talking football in the form of the Reno 1868 FC Soccer Team. With some fancy footwork (both literally... Read More

News came out last week that Dairy Queen is going to add a handful of franchise locations to the Reno/Carson area over the next few years. “Huh,” I said to myself, “do they really think the market needs more DQ ice cream shops? I think we’re fairly full up as it is.…” So you can imagine my surprise to learn that the... Read More
