Review of Reno, Nevada


Reno is an armpit!
Star Rating - 9/23/2008
OK, I have lived here most of my life. I have traveled far and wide, around the world. This is by far the dirtiest little city in the world. Just look at it! People are pigs. There are meth addicts everywhere and a huge population of homeless people that live in "tent city". More and more Californians are moving in, so the economy is becomming just as screwed up as anywhere in California. Cost of housing is outrageous. People are rude, obnoxious, everyone is in a bad mood. If they aren't suffering from a drug addiction, they're alcoholics or gambling addicts. The police are too busy giving the few hard-working individuals traffic tickets to be concerned with the real crime. The police avoid the real crime because that would mean they have to work and do their job. They truely are idiots like the "Reno 911" show. There is no "customer service" in this town Everyone is just downright rude. They are trying to make it a tourist destination by bringing in events like the Balloon Races, The Air Races, Hot August Nights, and Street Vibrations. But it's all the same thing; Cars, Bikes, Balloons and airplanes with a lot of junk vendors filling up the streets. I'm a teacher and the wage is barely enough to live on. I just can't believe I wasted so much of my life here. If your looking for somewhere to relocate, don't move here. You'll regret it. I think I'm going to Alaska. Wish me luck!

I think EL Paso Tx is the armpit of the America and I don't agree that Reno is a armpit of Americe at all. Its not perfect but its better looking city than the cities in Tx.
