Reno's got so much going and so much in the pipeline. The best part is the old-school character that is being preserved along the way. And, yeah, Tahoe's pretty cool, too.

Honestly! What kind of world do we live in here?!?!?! -M My new position is this: Until such time as there is a ice cream bike cart Making laps between my house and the white water park, this town is a backwater haystack, and I’m staying in my basement reading old copies of Creative Stitchery.

For me, much of the skiing and mountain biking that I do is around Lake Tahoe, and it is the surrounding mountains that produce the snow that melts into the rivers that I like to paddle. I am right there with you and Jason, and it is really the whole point of the post. I am just trying to say that Tahoe is a part of Reno's charm regardless, and I would never have discovered Reno if it were not for Tahoe. You mentioned cable cars. What if San Francisco didn't have the Pacific Ocean? Everyone has their own personal reasons.

Tahoe does add alot but Reno sure has come along ways compared to where we were at 15 years ago. The dream was a Riverwalk back then, now we have kayaking, Artown, balloon races, camel races, Hot August Nights, Cinco De Mayo Marathon, Street Vibrations, biking, skiing, Air Race and the list goes on. We're like the city for the means of transportation events. Bring on the cable cars! Reno is turning out to be one cool city!!!! I agree with Jason!

It definately took me a good amount of time to appreciate the city for what it has to offer other than it's proximity to Tahoe. But go ahead and take away Tahoe. Pound for pound, Reno stands up. The baddest little city in the world, I say! I’m a Reno transplant, having lived in L.A., S.F. and Las Vegas.

It just does not have any mountains. I hear ya, however, I’ve got to say my hometown of Charleston, SC rocks the house. It just does not have any mountains.

Also whatever your home town is is the same and wherever people are currently living is sub-optimal as well. Eyes are clouded, people are always unhappy with their situation and sure that everywhere else sucks too.
