Reno relocation struggles

0 Upvotes

My daughter is a junior (transferred from an Arizona preparatory academy into a public charter school 30 mins away) and just went back to freshman year until she completes state testing and can take community college classes. She says there is a lot of gang activity we weren’t aware of. People think I’m strange because reading is a hobby. Women knowing a lot about football is very odd. The traffic is terrible (three minutes for every mile). I feel like this move was terrible, but it was necessary for our family income. Wages here are low for the cost of living. The two cars we bought from Corwin dealerships are currently in the shop less than a month after purchase. Our house had to have remediation and construction from day 3 of being here (two months ago). I’m trying to stay positive and keep busy, but this is awful. Does this get better? Or do I just hope for a work transfer to a different state?

Edit: My daughter is a junior taking senior classes and applying to community college through her high school. The courses she is taking in the high school are what her freshman classes were at her old school. Complaints used to be “this is too hard” and now are “I’m not challenged enough”. I am sorry I was not clear enough.

Event downtown today

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know what event was happening downtown today? My wife and I walked thru booths of antiques and other stuff set up, but it was 5PM and everyone was packing up.

I searched and couldn’t find anything on the city website or google for any events taking place downtown today.

I want to make a reality show at Cares Campus

Kinda like cops... but only Remsa is involved. Like dude, I watched a guy in a wheelchair get smacked by a car and flip a few times and got up and started walking. Then REMSA is here multiple times every night. The cops too... like damn man. I've seen miracles and dreams disappear both times in one day. Meanwhile I'm back here trying to find my way out again.

Curious who moved here from AZ

0 Upvotes

I just got back from a trip in AZ particularly Prescott Valley and surrounding areas. I really enjoyed the area with the exception of how much windier it is there. If you moved from AZ what brought you here?

Im looking for lip augmentation. Specifically either fat grafting or a bullhorn lip lift? Wondering if anyone has had good luck with this at a fairly reasonable price? Lip fillers do not work on me so Im looking for something more permanent.

Good 17"x3"-4" winter tires for motorcycles/e-Bikes

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for some good winter tires for my bike, as I use it for Door Dash all year round, & looking for a good set of tires, as with the snow & then sand acting like little ball bearings, we need extra grip here in seems. 🤷

I was looking at Heindenau K58's, Shinko 241/244, or should the Blazer Dual Sport tires I have be good enough?

Thank you guys, hope everyone has a great week. 💪💯

Who’s got the open mics

2 Upvotes

What up party people,

I'm gonna be in town for a couple weeks and was wondering where the local stand-up comedy open mics are happening.

I do stand-up and would love to get some stage time while I'm in town. Looking for spots where I can try out some material, meet some local comics, and make and make a complete fool of myself in a new city.

Any recommendations? Thanks!

Anyone else struggle to make friends here?

• Upvotes

kind of a vulnerable post, but I moved back to the area a couple of years ago from Phoenix and admittedly i've been kind of isolated, but I miss having regular friends to hang out with and haven't really met people I genuinely vibe with. Whether it's having a couple drinks occasionally or playing some Switch/other games at my place or online. I'm pretty particular in my own interests and sense of humor, so I end up also being particular about who I hang out with generally.

i'm also a trans woman, so honestly it kinda terrifies me to meet up with new people regardless of the level of passing as cis, even if it's something i don't really talk about much at this point of my life. i'm also 29, so i'm in that weird spot between being young and unc(ette)

if anyone would be interested in possibly chatting and seeing if you wanted to be homies, i'm into gaming, occasional drinking, and slowly getting back into working out as well! also if you're in the same boat, it'd be nice to know i'm not just a freak and someone else can relate lmao. feel free to also share some good places to meet cool people.

Politics No polling for NV-2?

36 Upvotes

People seem to be sleeping on our district. Even Amodei said he isn't voting for Flippo. A carpetbagging, valor-stealing candidate seems to think the R next to his name means he has it in the bag - but I'm not so sure. I wish we had some polling to see how competitive it is here, but I guess the historical voting means people ignore Nevada's 2nd.

Pilates/Yoga studios for young adults in reno/sparks area (18-25)

1 Upvotes

Hi, I’ve lived in Reno for two years and have been looking to start pilates and yoga (affordably)

Upon my search for a studio to call home Pilates and yoga classes in the area I attended reformer pilates at Club Pilates. The only thing was it didn’t have a woman under the age of 40 (no judgement, just felt a little out of place) and I would like a place with more people my age.

I’m not trying to push myself too much, and I am not at all interested in hot yoga/pilates (sounds like a nightmare to me personally haha) I’m more focused on just getting started as a beginner so if you guys have any suggestions, please let me know.

Satellite bar, mid 00’s - anyone else remember?

34 Upvotes

We recently moved back to area and were driving around midtown. I had a flashback to my early 20’s and the first really hip bar I’d known - Satellite. Great genre themed nights (80 rap on Thursdays, if I recall), the bartenders (owners) were seemingly just a little older than us but so cool. A band from Oakland called ‘The Lovemakers’ would play there occasionally (still have one of their t-shirts) - always looked forward to those shows.

Anyone allowing a party at their airbnb?

My cousins and I are planning to had a Halloween party. Not a crazy one. About 20 people will only attend. About 10 of us will actually be staying the night at the Airbnb. It’s essentially a small get together with family and some close friends.

Lost dog near Wingfield

FYI I just saw a small dog running around the river near Wingfield park. I’m bad with dog breeds but maybe a weiner type dog, short and stubby like that at least. Looks lost. Unfortunately I couldn’t catch it or get a picture.

Haumbody Yoga (and tea room) is such a GEM in Reno!

Post image
56 Upvotes

I used to live in Austin, and there was a yoga studio I adored (black swan yoga, for any transplants here). Haumbody opened up some months ago, and the yoga classes are thoughtful, consistent and challenging when they're supposed to be. And they also offer more athletic styles of yoga if you're into that too. Every instructor there knows their stuff and the yoga room is just downright gorgeous.

The image here is their tea lounge. We went on a Friday night because we wanted something cozy and we just didn't feel like booze - this was exactly what we wanted / needed (and they have Pu-erh, among other rarer teas). So yeah, if you want a tea lounge to hangout or a place for just really good yoga, check this place out.
