Review of Reno, Nevada


reno is not what you think
Star Rating - 4/4/2015
My family and I have lived here for close to three years. We moved here from Los Angeles, when I was dislocated from my work. The rent here is inexpensive, the food is terrible, and public transportation is o.k. as long as you are going back and forth to sparks, or down Virginia. There seems to be a disproportionate amount of homeless people vs employed. with the former out weighing. as for events, unless you like to look at old cars (the same ones year after year) reno lacks. the concerts you get here or pretty bad as well. usually, one hit wonders from the 90's. or big stars from the 70's. not thrilling. the casino's smell and are rip-offs (stay away). Yes, there are a lot of outdoor events but you have to drive to get to them. if you have small children the place sucks. the parks are filled with homeless, and the cops don't care. I have seen drug deals go down right in front of cops driving bye and they do nothing. I have seen a person get their purse snatched from across the street, cops come bye in less then a minute and do NOTHING. Sure the housing is cheap, there is nothing here. my dad had a great name for this place while he was alive. DOGPATCH!!!

Reno has 2 things in abundance. Dorks and wind. If you think about it they're really the same thing. Watch out 4 the LDS cults.

You don't even know how to spell "by." Have you been eating food from the Food Bank, or the 25 cent wieners from Wienerschnitzel? The food here is better than you ever will be. For your information, Hoboken, New Jersey has more homeless people than Reno. Get your facts straight, loser. SMA.
