The Great GAS EXPLOSION in Downtown Reno with THEN and NOW MASHUPS + Pizza and Beer!

Downtown Reno was rocked by a historic gas explosion by the Truckee River on Sierra Street in February of 1957 - learn all about this major event and how we responded, especially the fantastic firefighters. Several businesses and the Elks of Reno were affected. I'll take you down to the exact location this took place and we'll relive the experience with historic photos mashed up with contemporary views of the same scenes. Interesting for everyone - even more so if you're a resident or thinking of living in Reno, Nevada! Visit our merch shop! Shirts, hats, stickers etc.!! https://SteveTRYK.redbubble.com Music credits: "Soon to be free" - written and recorded by Steve atmospheric music under the mashups: https://www.purple-planet.com/ If you'd like to check out my paintings and photographic art: https://www.dailypaintworks.com/Artis...

My name is Steve and I've lived in Reno for 37 years (as an adult!). I've had a lifelong interest in historical topics, and spend much time exploring and researching this wonderful area. I started this channel to share some of what I've learned. I produced a full-length documentary film on the history of Harolds Club casino in 2015. Perhaps you're thinking of moving to Reno and are looking for background on the area, or you're already a resident and this content might help give you a sense of place. I shall endeavor to cater to both groups! I'm also a craft beer enthusiast, and thought I'd talk about some of that brewery scene here as well. I started homebrewing 31 years ago in 1992, and earned the Certified Cicerone designation in 2015 - this is a sommelier-esque program for beer people. Please subscribe, share and come along with me on this journey! Thanks and cheers! Steve
