Carson City is the armpit of Nevada!

Well, that about sums it up. Thanks!

Well, Carson has some features. The Capitol is cool looking, there
are nice Victorians on the west side, and more than a couple of nice
restaurants and bars. Plus an amazing number of Grumman Albatrosses
at the airport. They have several nice parks (we walk our dog off of
Deer Run in the Spring when we're still snowbound). But, the city
government are idiots. The town looks like crap approaching from the
south or east and only slightly better from the north or west. They
lost a Kmart and a Walmart, so they try to attract new retail leaving
tens of thousands of square feet of retail empty. Car and RV dealers
are scattered everywhere and only a couple of dealers threatening to
go to Douglas County (where the Weiss family and I live) got them to
consider an auto mall (a decade late). The only resort hotel has been
closed for over three years and is in a ****ing match with the city
over permits. And, aesthetically, a recent wildfire did decimate a
lot of their forest views and there are way too many trashy
neighborhoods for such a small city.

Armpit? Well, we do have Beatty and Vegas in the competition.

Hee hee! No kids! Grandma's coming -- long live Grandma!

Hey, no kids! Stay in a B&B in Genoa. The Weiss's have offered
transportation twice. Have them pick you up at KMEV and drive you to
Red's Old 395 in Carson. There is an Enterprise location sharing the
parking lot there, and they have close to 100 beers in bottle or on
tap. Eat some onion strings, drink some beer, and have dinner in
Genoa.

Douglas County is a beautiful part of Nevada. And, no income tax,
fairly mild business/corporate fees, stunning views - you may
reconsider your life as a flatlander!
