Cat Abuser

Upvotes

The fact the Reno mods feel comfortable removing all the posts about the cat abuser and killer who was arrested and is now released and likely back in Reno, is disturbing and incredibly tone deaf.

"We don't want to inspire a witch hunt."

HE IS KILLING KITTENS

It makes me question the integrity of not only the people running this subreddit, but the subreddit in general. This is something people need to be aware of. And this is something that needs to be discussed. Not something to ignore and shun.

He killed cats. That is a fact. He was arrested. That is a fact. That is not a witch hunt. It even makes me wonder if one of the mods might know him personally.

Do better ya'll. And everyone else, watch out for this psycho when adopting out animals. Animal abusers never just stop at animals. It almost always extends toward hurting humans.

Edit: Removing these posts, regardless if the abusers name is shared or not, is perpetuating harm. We have a right to discuss these matters as citizens of this city. And people who may not know about this otherwise. Removing these posts could put more animals and humans in harms way with this individual. It's reckless and careless.

I've never seen Lake Tahoe

99 Upvotes

So I made the decision today to hike there and spend the night before I head home. I'm a person right now with absolutely nothing to lose, and it feels like I have a big world all to myself. I'm not even going to wait for an ID, because why? I'm just ready to be home. But I'll be damned if I leave Reno without seeing Lake Tahoe.

From there, I will train hop my way all the way back to North Carolina. And I'm going to take every single second of it in. I want to thank the lovely person who blessed me with a phone replacement. That solved 90% of my problems. You are an angel. And everyone else who has reached out and offered a helping hand. I don't care what anyone says about Reno, I've met some of the best people I've ever met in my life here. Thank you all so much. This city will always have a place in my heart. It's just time for me to go home. God bless every single one of you.

I remember as a kid going to a restaurant on, i think, Keystone where that in n out is now that sold root beer in a mug that had dry ice in the base. Felt like some Star Wars drink at the time. Anyone remember this place and what it was called?

Just rode through Geiger Grade Mountain Pass for the first time

Post image
224 Upvotes

Long story short I just moved out here to Reno, saw that i-80 was backed up with traffic and thought "oh I'll take this other route that google maps is suggesting"

Well little did I know I was in for one hell of a ride. Im from Texas and not used to these mountains/canyon driving and before I knew it (according to google) I was over 6K feet above sea level and shaking in my boots trying to navigate through those mountains to make my way home.

I dont know how the heck people here drive fast while being up that high but kudos to them. Love the natural beauty of Reno when im not in the air but man there's some scary mountain passes here.

I feel lucky to live in Reno, where we get to enjoy art, mountains, and the outdoors. I feel so happy to see the community coming out to enjoy music, good vibes, and community. July has been amazing so far.

What's your favorite concert so far? Mine was Nahko.

Hit-and-Run at N McCarran Boulevard and N Virginia Street

64 Upvotes

I want to alert the community to a reckless driver who committed a hit-and-run on 7/20/26 at around 7:40 am. This incident occurred at the intersection of N McCarran Boulevard and N Virginia Street. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to capture the individual's license plate. I believe the suspect drives a red 90s Chevrolet Suburban. The red Chevy struck the left rear of the sedan at a stoplight. After the light turned green, you can see the Chevy making an illegal U-turn and fleeing the scene. I apologize for the quality of the video, as it is significantly zoomed in because I don't want to show the license plate of the car in front of me. If you are the victim, feel free to submit the videos I have to your insurance or the Reno Police. Please be careful out here, especially if you are in front of that red Chevy.

Community nonprofit business idea

8 Upvotes

I have a nonprofit business idea that was born out of my own loneliness and desire for real social connection. I’m Gen X and I remember the days of my youth when it was much easier to walk outside your home and just be amongst other people. Now the world seems alarmingly empty. I take my kid to the park and few people are there. I go to the mall and it’s empty. Even when people are around they barely, if even, acknowledge each other as they stare at their phones.

I’m imagining a place that has amenities that truly attracts people. Somewhere that you know if you go, someone will be there just to chat or play a game.

I’m thinking community garden and beautiful outdoor and indoor spaces. Cafe with affordable good and healthy food. Areas for puzzles and games. Study areas and a classroom the community can use to offer free or low cost classes. Indoor playground. Old fashioned bulletin boards where people can offer their goods, services or free stuff to the community. Gaming and technology room for those that do just want to sit with others while they doomscroll or people watch them play, but no phones or tech allowed in the rest of the place.

I’d like it to be nonprofit and low to no cost to everyone. I was thinking that there could be a low fee to access and no fee if the person trying to access couldn’t afford it. I want it accessible to everyone.

Any of you who are familiar with nonprofits, how would I even fund such a place? I was thinking volunteers and part time employees. Low cost entry fees. Maybe renting certain areas out for private parties or weddings.

I want it to be somewhere that you know if you go there, people will be there. The main attraction is people. What kind of amenities would attract you to such a place? What would you consider to be affordable to access?

Dancing Gentleman N Virginia & W Second St

3 Upvotes

There’s an older gentleman who frequently dances under the pawn sign between N Virginia & west second st. He usually has fun outfits on and I think ankle weights. I haven’t been able to find anything about him. Was curious if anyone knows his story?

I see him most days during the summer and he always looks like he’s having a great time. He hasn’t been there the past week or so due to the heat I think.
