Most wonderful place I have ever settled in! - 6/19/2021
I have stayed and played in this town for decades and now have the opportunity to live here. Can't think of anyplace else I would love to be resident at. Yes it is a small town and has the small town atmosphere along with the good old boys, and families that are fortunate to be several generations of residences. All of which I have found to be amazing. I hear reviews that complain about the small town politics and atmosphere and I just don't understand...it's a small town people. If you want a big town don't come here. I personally think if someone is having encounters with the police department and then comment negatively on it then maybe you need to not have encounters. No one in our family ever has other then a hello and a nice morning coffee. Complaints about dirt? Seriously? It's a desert if you don't want dirt don't come to the desert...novel thought. Yerington is an amazing place to live and raise your family. Only one grocery store and they know it? I'm not sure what that Read More

I'm pissed off and angry! Lyon County, Nevada prop - 5/28/2015
I'm pissed off and angry!
Lyon County, Nevada property taxes went up, but service been cut back, and still going to very healthy and lazy people!
Example, funding has stopped for our Rsvp non emergency nevada medical transportation program for disabled people under 60, and being disabled, low income, I don't qualify for medicaid logisticare non emergency medical transportation.
BECAUSE of wasteful government spending on things that are not necessary, it jeopardized important programs like rsvp. Myself being disabled with ms, under 60 and low income, and I did email all are nevada politicians, and of course as you would expect, they chose to do nothing, it's pretty obvious, this proves that they are "(do-nothing)" nevada politicians that also discriminate against us disabled, but because of this letter they will deny, and come up with a twisted excuse.
But if THEY or someone they care about gets disabled, then something will be done.
Wow, just think lyon Read More

don't go - 5/11/2011
Yerington is in the middle of NOWHERE. It is about 45 min from Wellington (don’t blink or you’ll miss it), and another hour on top of that to Carson City. You have to drive for about 4 hours into Nevada coming from California just to get to Yerington. It’s dirt. All dirt. Plus the mercury, copper, whatever else is floating around in the air killing people. If you have a health emergency / need a visit to the ER, plan on dying or coming close. My mother, who unfortunately lives in Yerington, had a serious medical issue (which after doing some research, learned was a “911/seek prompt medical attention” issue). She went to the “Yerington ER” where the “doctors” were not familiar with what was happening to her (which is not so rare an issue that doctors in an ER shouldn’t know about), and sent her packing. Her amazing friend that took her to the”ER” brought her back to her home where she called me and told me what happened. I told her she needed to go back; she should be at a hospital, Read More

boonies - 5/10/2011
I don't have a good opinion about this place. I don't personally live here but I know someone who does and shouldn't have moved there - it is out in the boonies and nothing but dirt. It's about 45 min from Wellington, and another hour to even Carson City. If there is any life threatening emergency, the only med evac is as far as Wellington (for people in Yerington). If you are sick or need the ER...Yerington docs are gonna kill you. My mom went there with a serious issue (I'm not gonna put specifics out there on her personal problems), the docs didn't know what the issue was and sent her packing. She called me and told me everything - I researched her issue and it was a 911/get prompt medical attention issue. I told her to go back and see if they could ambulance her to Carson Ciity. She went back and they wouldn't take her in because she "just checked out." She went back the next day (fortunately still alive) to her regular doctor who "wasn't there." Two (nurse practitioners I Read More

THE WORST TOWN IN AMERICA! - 10/25/2010
I GREW-UP IN YERINGTON, LIVED THERE FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND MUST SAY, IT IS A HORRIBLE PLACE TO LIVE OR EVEN VISIT. THE JUDGES AND POLICE IN THAT TOWN ARE VERY CORRUPT AND TRULY SUBSCRIBE TO THE GOOD-OL-BOY SYNDROME. THE TOWNS JP IS JUDGE MILLIGAN, THAT MAN SHOULD REALLY BE BEHIND BARS! HE IS SO UNETHICAL IT AMAZES ME HOW HE RETAINS HIS POWER, WELL NOT REALLY AS THE GENERAL PUBLIC THERE IS INCREDIBLY IGNORANT..., VERY PETTY AND ARROGANT TOO BELIEVE IT OR NOT. WHAT THEY HAVE TO FEEL ARROGANT ABOUT I CAN'T IMAGINE. I HAVE SEEN AND EXPERIENCED SO MUCH IN THAT LITTLE HELL HOLE IT SICKENS ME! IF YOU HAPPEN TO BELONG TO A POWERFUL FAMILY OR 1 OF THE MANY WEALTHY, IGNORANT, AND TRASHY ITALIAN FAMILIES THERE YOU WILL BE PERMITTED TO DO PRETTY MUCH WHATEVER YOU PLEASE W/O PENALTY FROM THE LOCAL AUTHOROTIES, MAYBE A LECTURE OR SLAP ON THE WRIST AS JUDGE MILLIGAN AND YOUR BUDDIES AT THE LOCAL COP SHOP COVER-UP AND LIE FOR YOU. I MYSELF REJECTED THEIR STUPID LITTLE CLICKS AS MY ITEGRITY AND Read More
