Lucky enough to spend a few days in Reno for my kids volleyball tournament. Record high temps everyday at 104 to 106. Braved the streets one day to shoot some of the great old Googie motel signs. Many of these will be gone soon. The 7/11 The Horse Shoe A few from the Keno. The City Center next door. The Ace. The Capri One of my favorites, the Coed Lodge. The Donner Inn. The Castaway Inn (Tiki?) The Flamingo. The Fireside Inn. The El Ray - on its way out. The Star of Reno next door. These are ready for the dozer. Heart of Town. And the Golden West next door. The In Town. Another favorite, the Mardi Gras, Silver Dollar. Sands, Stardust. Star. Thunderbird. Reno Royal. Reno Riviera. Rancho Sierra, Olympic. Mystery - this one must have been cool. Monte Carlo Sundance, Lido. Coach Inn. The Wonder Lodge. Midtown Motel and Bar. Time Zone Townsite. The Bonanza Inn. The Carriage Inn. The Crest Inn - which used to be The Tropics. Gatekeeper Inn.
