For some reason, that didn't change much as I became an adult. As you well know, there are tons of stories relating to bars and the people who regularly frequent them. This was a good one...

As for when I was last in Reno (ages ago in the 80's) but I arrived there with my own car and U-Haul trailer and had an apartment rented and waiting. But, I just couldn't grasp raising my then 6 year old son there by myself, and returned back to Minnesota where my now husband just couldn't understand why I moved there anyway! I do enjoy Nevada though, my best girlfriend had moved there (kind of begging me to also) So, that was my first time in Reno,(a few years later went for a visit) but more of my time has been in the Las Vegas Red Rock Canyon area! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-63527689352437073542012-05-16T10:57:56.341-04:002012-05-16T10:57:56.341-04:00Thanks, they were all (or almost all) good folkThanks, they were all (or almost all) good folksagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-78066061663328596232012-05-16T10:57:21.354-04:002012-05-16T10:57:21.354-04:00I have been busy working on the boat!I have been busy working on the boat!sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-72052521969004106762012-05-16T10:56:43.318-04:002012-05-16T10:56:43.318-04:00My late 20s to mid 30s were years of great growth ...My late 20s to mid 30s were years of great growth and adventure.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-40619825990615055552012-05-16T10:55:48.159-04:002012-05-16T10:55:48.159-04:00Speaking of friends one hasn't seen in a decad...Speaking of friends one hasn't seen in a decade, it hasn't been quite that long but it's been a long time, good to see you around here TC!sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-64733778057751498372012-05-16T09:52:19.336-04:002012-05-16T09:52:19.336-04:00I've never been a fan of dark beer.
