Reno is taking wagers on it being Green Isis or not, side bets on types of stolen firearms, tattoo placement, amounts of meth and weed, and types with placement of tattoos.

Regular users of this site might want to wager some bitcoin and reap rewards.

Once there was a river running through that hole, more than a 100 years ago, and the water was clean
except for some fish shit.

Some agency started giving out vouchers that allowed homeless to stay in the motels along Valley West, more homeless showed up to take advantage of the situation. Fast forward 10 ir 15 years, tada, shithole.

You also have all that vegetation for ‘camps’ and the green belt area, cheap eats and lots of places to buy liquor. Unknowing tourist come through and stop … and are greeted by some of the transient population who can contribute willing or unwillingly to their causes…
