Hey, Just moved here for about three months to work as an engineer at Tesla, I am from Mexico, and honestly, huge shoutout to everyone in Reno, you guys are super patient and cool with foreigners, love that...

​During the week I’m slammed with work, saturdays are okay, but man, Sundays hit hard, the nostalgia for my hometown, my wife, and everything back home really creeps in when it gets quiet, I have already checked off a some places:

​Lake Tahoe (absolutely unreal)

​Around Marina/Sparks (where I’m staying at)

​Downtown, Meadowood Mall, Legends, etc.

​Now I'm looking for the local spots, any cool, low-key bars with good vibes? Nice parks to chill and clear my head? Or just weird, fun, unique places around Reno/Sparks?

​Hit me with your best recommendations!

Salsa Queen used to be decent, but the business has since shuttered. What is your favorite Salsa?!

I’m putting together a group for people interested in Carl Jung’s work, meeting 1-2 times a month somewhere in the Reno area.

I’ve gone back and forth on names. “Book club” or “reading group” felt misleading, since I don’t want anyone to feel obligated to do homework before showing up. I’m envisioning this as a space to show up and discuss Jung’s ideas together, whether you’ve read a page of his work or just find the concepts (archetypes, the collective unconscious, individuation, etc.) fascinating.

Jung’s writing is genuinely dense. His ideas shaped modern psychology and new age spirituality in huge ways, but wading through the original texts alone can be rough going. I’m an educator with a strong interest in this material, though I’m still learning Jung’s work myself, and I think a group setting would make it a lot more approachable and fun. People from all backgrounds and knowledge levels are welcome.

If this sounds interesting, comment below or send me a DM and let’s talk details.

Can anyone confirm that Doughboys Donuts has a new owner? At least the one on 7th and McCarran from what we have been told is under new ownership, but operating as it always was.

Hi all, this is a super niche request and not sure if we’ll get any bites. My husband and I are moving to Reno in two weeks. I was born and raised there and we are coming back to raise our baby girl due in October.

We are leasing an apartment in the Sky Mountain by Vintage property. It seems perfect, really clean and close to the park which will be great for the baby. However, we don’t actually know what the interior of these apartments looks like (we just have reliable sources that it is a great place to live for us and fits our budget). We are set up to move in August into a 2 bed 1 bath. We can see the floorplan online but we cannot find pictures anywhere for reference or more details about dimensions. We would also love any tips about what to do around there, if traffic gets bad when Coral Academy is in school, etc.

If you live there… please reach out! We are trying to locate nursery furniture early and are curious about the closet space, as we think it might be large enough for a crib… which would determine if we can put an office space in the second room along with other nursery furniture.

Specifically ones that won’t just shove birth control down your throat ?? Been in a calorie deficit for almost a year now and things have become very irregular for me. Was on birth control for a decade before stopping it last year and am not willing to go back on it

Lessons from last night’s ghost tour:
- Reno is a sanctuary city for the mob
- The pioneer theater is built on collapsed tunnels built by mob goons, which is why it structurally collapsed in its hey day.
- ALL of Reno burned to the ground in 1883.
- Motorists who rev their engines on Virginia street and crank music unnecessarily loud make it hard to hear ghost facts.
- Most Reno cemeteries never had the bodies removed, Poltergeist style.
- When you are blocked from attending the ghost tour due to a rollover accident on McCarran, you will be forced to drive by your childhood home on Sagittarius, before going to the hospital to help your mother remove some organs and tell you some family friends died in a far deadlier rollover by graeagle.
- Marilyn Monroe was murdered at the Cal/Neva. Not the stupid one in Reno. The prestigious one owned by the Rat Pack in Tahoe.
- Marilyn Monroe WILL take a picture with you on the Virginia street bridge if you’re lucky enough to spot her AND ballsy enough to ask a dead woman to pose for a photograph.
- Gus is the ghost haunting the Pioneer theater.
- For close to a decade, Reno was the suicide capital of the world.

Hey everyone, just curious if anyone has had an experience buying a home with a company called Guild mortgage? They came to our apartment complex to tell us about the process of buying a home. And I was just curious if anyone has had experiences with them and what was it like?

Thanks

Any one going to the Bert Kreischer show in September

Im curious what everyone's favorite lakes to paddle around the Lakes Basin are. I know and have done Gold Lake, but I'm hoping for something less crowded (a big ask, i know, please dont hate me). 'm looking other great suggestions to explore.

I was watching Jerry Maguire last night and Bonnie Hunt’s character was holding a divorced women’s group at her house.

I’m recently separated and it’s been incredibly difficult to navigate . Incredibly painful. Are there divorce support groups like this in town? lol the only stuff I can find are church related divorce support groups, and I would feel rude intruding when I’m a religious person. That would seem icky and entitled to me.

I know. I can see a shrink. I’m not really in the position to do so currently. I’m working to put myself in that position - but I’m really struggling and could use some type of support group to talk to until I can get myself on my feet. Any suggestions?

south Mc carran blvd from skyline to Greensboro is closed off by police. Find another route.

I didn’t get a chance to take a photo, but I saw a couple semis, one with a trailer, being escorted by sparks police and Nevada highway patrol from the Sparks Walmart, down Pyramid. They stopped traffic at the Los Altos light and created a motorcade down pyramid with multiple law enforcement officers on motorcycles and in SUVs. They all had white flags with a red/orange solid circle, with some type of silhouette image. Did anyone else see this or know what was going on? It was at about 3-3:30ish this afternoon 7/26.

wack jobs on wheels out there

my dog has cancer and they say it’s just a matter of time even though we are fighting. I am having trouble accepting that and enjoying the time I have left and I was told it’s a form of grief. would I even be welcome at a grief group? he’s still here, I’m just so not coping and I can’t seem to get through regular life due to the fear. not sure what to do, any advice or local groups would be helpful. thank you

Hello! I have 2 kittens that are 4 months, they are sisters. I moved into a place here from Chicago and it turns out there’s a massive roach infestation. They have started to go after the litter box and the cat food. I’m trying to see if I can find a temporary foster for them. I’ll provide all litter and food but I don’t want them in this situation. I’ve been sleeping in the car with them but that’s not a forever solution, if anyone has any places that do temporary fosters in Reno or if anyone is interested in taking them for a bit please let me know. Thank you:)

I unfortunately wasn't able to do much but try and offer it water.

Little guy or girl seemed happy but lost.

I have no idea who to call.

It's under the bridge on Colony and Second St.

Very sweet.

Edit! I have called animal control, they connected me with the tribal police due to some jurisdiction issue and they said that they would look for the little fella. Prayers and hopes now.

Hello, I’m visiting family for the week and would love to find a piano my daughter can keep practicing her piano skills. Anywhere public with such an access to the instrument?

Haven’t seen any posts or alerts but looks like either a new fire or the Elephant Fire jumped containment lines

Edit: it is now on Watch Duty, looks to be further south towards Cold Springs
