Each of the buildings at the intersection of 2nd and Virginia Streets in downtown Reno, Nevada has a unique history! We'll take a look at the Oddfellows building, the Club Cal Neva, the Reno National Bank and the Byington building. Many locals will drive by these old (by Nevada standards) structures daily, but they might not know the backstories. Reno doesn't have many historic buildings left - here's a chance to learn about what we still have with us as of the date of this filming!

This is the place to learn interesting things about Reno, the state of Nevada and the American west! I've lived in Reno for 37 years (as an adult!). I've had a lifelong interest in history, and spend much time exploring and researching this wonderful area. I started this channel to share some of what I've learned. I produced a full-length documentary film on the history of Reno's Harolds Club casino in 2015. The DVD can be gotten here:

Perhaps you're thinking of moving to Reno and are looking for background on the area, or you're already a resident and this content might help give you a sense of place. I shall endeavor to cater to both groups!
I'm also a craft beer enthusiast, and thought I'd talk about some of that scene here as well. I started homebrewing in 1992, and earned the Certified Cicerone designation in 2015 - this is a sommelier-like program for beer people.
Please subscribe, share and come along with me on this journey! Thanks and cheers!
