I'm excited to read your new book. Fiction or non-fiction? I found your Substack recently. I came back from Reno last week. I was on a recon mission to see if it was viable for (my husband) and me to move back. I left in 2019, got married, and now we're close to retirement so time to find our happy place. (My husband has never been there but asked me to return to make sure I wasn't romanticizing it.) Happy to report it was basically the same, magical in my eyes... but sadly the the affordable housing situation is still the same only worse. $1,700-$3,000 plus for a one or two bedroom is too much for two retirees. But I can hold out hope. Dreams do come true :)
Thanks so much, Patti! I don't have a new book yet, although I'm working on a few different ideas. Reno's Big Gamble (2008) is nonfiction, tracing the development of Reno and its reputation from its origins in the 1860s through the early 2000s. I hope we'll be seeing you in Reno again soon!
Thanks, I'll purchase and read the book, sounds interesting! I'm gathering all books and publications to keep Reno alive while percolating my dream. Happy I found you!
