A few observations about Reno from a Seattlite

I moved to Reno in Summer 2018 from Seattle. I like it, but it's different. Here's a few observations:Tahoe is awesome and close, but far too crowded with Californians and tourists. The Sierra Nevadas have tons of stuff to do for miles and miles, both north and south from Reno. The Truckee runs through downtown from Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake, a closed lake where the only way for the water to escape is through evaporation. One of the few places, maybe the only place, where this happens in North America.Most people are friendly and down to earth.Drivers in Reno are disproportionately bad and aggressive. Often men will become enraged if you honk at them. Using a car's horn is a way to communicate and avoid accidents in Seattle. In Reno, honking is offensive. I've been chased into a grocery store parking lot, where a man got out of his car as if he was going to fight me. (I drove away.) I've had a big white guy in huge truck shout
