Reno, Nevada, 1950s

While we’re ogling casinos, let’s stay in Nevada, but head up north to Reno, where these two photos of what was then called Virginia Street were taken sometime in the latter half of the 1950s. Too bad they’re not nighttime shots. Like Vegas, we see some high-rollers’ cars, but unlike Vegas, we see a lot more of the regular joe sort of cars bthat belong with the locals mingling in with the tourists’s cars. What do you see here?
