Reno Now & Then
Presented by Neal Cobb
“The significance of Virginia City and the Comstock Lode played an important part in the creation of Reno. A town where gambling, divorce, and much more put Reno on the national and international stage.
A combination of Neal’s “Reno Now & Then” books 1&2, featuring opposite pages of now and then photo comparisons provide a unique look back in time . Descriptions and historical facts, side notes on problems or adventures in the process. Most cities when they grow cover up their history. Buildings commercial & residential either lose their spot or unique identity. From a town with a personality to just another ugly city. Let’s check out Reno, Nevada.”
