the big city
September 1st, 2010
came with this note:
My parents were traveling musicians when I was young. They worked in bars and casinos in out-of-the-way places in Nevada like Furnace Creek, Elko, Winnemucca, and Tonapah. A trip into Reno was like going to town–the Big City! I remember on that day I had breakfast at Sambo’s (very exciting for a four-year-old). My mom took me out along the main street and snapped some pictures. It was she who took the pictures 32 years later at just about the same spot. Sambo’s was gone.
