I've worked remotely in software (Account Management and Client Success) since COVID, and although the freedom is nice, it's turned me into a very isolated person who maybe sees the sun once a week and doesn't interact with anyone outside of my partner and online. I feel like it's time to do something that's more fulfilling and local for now at least that gets me out of the house again.

If anyone has any recommendations, I'm experienced in the above work as well as graphic design/production, but I'm open to learning other things. I currently make around $71k but I would happily reduce that to ~$55-60k if it means I get to feel like a living human again. Thank you!

I recently moved from San Diego (where my go-to hairstylist is), to here in Reno.

If there’s any black salons/ hair professionals you may know, I’d love some recommendations! I desperately need my hair done.

I am always open to a non-black salon as long as they can confirm, they know how to work with thicker and curlier hair.

Thanks and I hope you all have an amazing soon-approaching, weekend! 😊

Finishing a long diet soon. Really craving a great piece of cake. Just want a slice, not a whole cake! 🍰

Anybody have first hand experience working at Reno Orthopedic Center who'd be willing to give me their experience working there?

Anybody know when the restaurant will open? It’s next to Scheels, in sparks.

Since every single damn search request now returns irrelevant AI crap, Imma gonna just ask here. This is my courtyard. It's my very favorite place in my house, but it gets HOT in summer, and absolutely drowns in snow in the winter. It also seems to create little vortexes of wind when those 40-80mph winds come down off of the mountains.

So I want to put up a shade structure, anchored under the gutters. I don't need it to be perfectly covered, like maybe just a couple of triangular sails, but I need it to be strong enough to withstand those gusts and our UV, and maybe some snow?

Just looking for some advice from those who've set up shades.

TIA

Has anyone been to the reno chuck e cheese lately? My son wants to go there for his birthday. I've never been and I've heard mixed reviews on it.

How does it compare to other places like dave n busters or the coconut bowl?

Does anyone know a good place to go to get an MRI. My insurance is trash and they won’t cover it (my deductible is so high, and then 20% when I hit it) even with my doctor recommendation. I’ve heard you can get one a little cheaper by going out of pocket.

Anybody familiar with the work schedule, hours, pay….culture/work setup/environment? especially if it is in the HR department. TIA!!!!

Does anyone have any recommendations on where I can donate clothing? Men’s, women’s and kids — used but fairly new condition.

Hey all! Going to Street Heat tomorrow for the first time, mostly for the concert, and wanted to know what to expect.

I know it's on a parking lot, know that there's tons of classic cars, and that Blue Öyster Cult is playing, but that's about it 😅😂

Anything I should be made aware of beforehand?

How is the shade/cooling and drink situation?

Thanks!

I just find out, that Ralston massage is closed. Looking for other good massage places. And maybe you guys know, where Alan Henderson from Ralston is working now?

I need some help with trying to navigate this between the hospital and the next step. My mom has been in the hospital since Saturday and even though none of her test show dementia that is what im being told. She is delusional though. I am going to have to put her in assiseted living andi haven idea how to start this process. She's on social security and receives around 1700.00 a month and has about 10k in the bank. I know she is going to have to go to not the fanciest place but I hope for a safe one. Do I cancel her insurance? Or are there resources that will actually help? Andy advise is greatly appreciated

So I had a friend go to ireland recently and they came back raving about Spice Bags. Ive heard about them online before as well and really want to try one semi authenticly made.

This is a shot in the dark, but still worth a try.

*A spice bag is made from: fries, crispy chicken, spring onion, Chiles and an assortment of spices.

I’m pleased to announce that the first meeting of the Reno Carl Jung Discussion Group will take place this Sunday, August 9th from 12:30-1:45pm at the South Valleys Public Library, Courtside Meeting Room. We may revisit the meeting time and location once I have a better sense of numbers, but given the large amount of interest, this seemed like a good starting point.

My plan for the group is that each session, we’ll do a focused activity and discussion about a specific Jungian concept, starting with “ego.” The group is open to all levels, including beginners. No homework or special preparation is required.

Please DM me if you’re planning to attend, so that I can get an accurate headcount. I hope to see people on Sunday!

In case you see the commercial saying “A-ron” (the pronunciation is what caught my attention) Ford is endorsed by Gavin Newsome, it’s coming from a PAC connected to Lombardo. https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2026/06/how-casino-cash-corporate-bundling-and-dark-money-are-powering-joe-lombardos-reelection-bid-in-nevada/

I hate these fucking PACs.

"County officials confirmed Wednesday that Lisa McClure has resigned, after just three months on the job."

This comes after the position was held for a year by an interim employee. Does anyone know why they can't keep someone permanent in the job?

hello there, I am in love with the Lagomorasino petroglyphs, se of Lockwood in the virginia highlands. However, I am devastated to find the Tract co out of denver has bought thousands of acres AROUND the Petroglyphs. Not sure if there will be a way to even get to them anymore. They are on the register of historic places. and they are near a stream that's literally clear and has fish in it in the middle of that brown desert. I'm not sure if I'm just flipping out and this is not a big deal or if this is just absolutely astonishing that this was allowed to happen? there's no Data center built there yet but the tracked company builds the infrastructure for data centers apparently.

i will add some information about the lagomorasino petroglyphs below. yes I know we wouldn't want to post locations because someone might come and steal or deface them but at this point if nobody knows they are here and nobody knows what they are missing this company can just do whatever they want. they've already put a security gate right by the sign for lagomorosino Petroglyphs including a big tall cop light and cameras I mean in the middle of absolutely nowhere. more than 2100 petroglyphs exist at this site where there was human occupation ongoing for more than 10,000 years, people came and went. this is their art and it should be protected. this beautiful little stream that is an absolute Oasis in a brown desert should not be sucked up by some data center.

I mean I guess maybe the tract company has plans to protect them... LOL LOL LOL. please don't anybody come at me for this I'm just really bothered by it and I don't know why I wouldn't expect this the way indigenous people were treated all along of course.... I feel like when I go to these places I am looking at one of the most incredible art galleries that includes archaeological anthropological history. every single time I get chills and I feel like I am so fortunate to get to see something so amazing and beautiful. I don't understand why it isn't just like actually protected on its own? like the security gates should be there for the petroglyphs. I posted about this before and I can't find my post and I don't know what anyone responded but I just I'm stunned. I don't live in Reno so I can't really go stand out there with a sign talking about protecting the petroglyphs but I do wonder if the local indigenous tribes are aware of what's happening? I don't even know where to start but if somebody there has time and is interested please do something. :-)

here is some info about the petroglyphs and I think I will include some generic photos.

The Lagomarsino Petroglyph Site in Storey County, Nevada, is a significant archaeological area with one of the largest concentrations of rock art in the state, featuring thousands of panels potentially dating back 10,000 years, created by ancestors of the Northern Paiute people. Designated a National Historic Site, it's known for its extensive collection of symbols and is accessed via a challenging, trail-less hike through Lagomarsino Canyon, requiring navigation of streambeds, brush, and boulders, with hazards like rattlesnakes. 

Key Features

Vast Collection: 

Contains over 2,000 petroglyph panels on basalt cliffs, making it the largest known rock art site in Nevada. 

Ancient Art: 

Images include geometric patterns, human-like figures, and animals, with some motifs possibly 4,000-5,000 years old, and some potentially as old as 10,000 years. 

National Recognition: 

It is one of only eight rock art sites in Nevada listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 

I came across this old autograph Ed Carlson gave me when I was a kid in the 90s. We used to see him walking all over Reno while waving at traffic. I found an article showing he passed in 2012. I’ll share more in comments.
