Review of Reno, Nevada


Depends on what you're looking for, but Reno sure
Star Rating - 12/12/2007
IF you aspire to live in an over-priced cookie-cutter-McMansion in an endless sprawl of overpriced suburban developments, be a good little consumer in endless strip-mall hell, drive a jacked up truck with a vanity-plate (which you'll drive everywhere as there's no real public transport), and possibly develop a meth-addiction: IF this is what you seek, Reno might be a good choice.

Ok, there are some things I like about this crazy place: As long as you're happy driving everywhere, it's pretty easy to get around, and no real traffic issues to speak of. Plenty of parks and trails in and around Reno, with much outdoor recreation within an hours drive - lakes, mountains and desert. A developing arts and culture scene. Plenty of opportunity to start something cool (arts organisation, non-profit, etc) cuz chances are, Reno hasn't got one yet of whatever it is you want to start. And the best thing about Reno? So easy to leave town.
