I am in Reno, Nevada.

It's a tiny little city with a bunch of defunct casinos and a lot of homeless cold people.

That part of it is weird.

It's also a bustling little art town that gets to pretty up where the casinos aren't with gambling taxes.

That part is rad.

There are tons of youngins here (20-somethings) that have created a new little community away from the washed up casino row and there's new vibe vibrating. It's colorful and creative and if I didn't hate the cold so much, I'd consider moving here.

"Oh shit! I'm in Reno on a family vacation. My parents are drunk, my cousins are playing ski-ball, my grandmas a sleep and I'm bored! What should I do, Sarah?"

Head on down to California street...a few blocks past the river. It's artsyfartsy cool. Bars, kitchy restaurants, beanies and scarfs galore. Get a salad at Blue Plate.

"But I'm only 15! I can't go too far from our hotel!"

Go find the Nugget. Now find the back door. You will enter into Awful Awful. Eat a burger the size of your little sisters head. It will be AMAZING. Now go pay preview soft core.

"Thanks Sarah! You are the best!"
