An original pinup portrait painting made in Reno, Nevada in 1948 revisited with the artist's son!

Reno, Nevada historian extraordinaire Neal Cobb recounts the history of the creation of a large pinup painting executed by his mother in the window of a small shop they owned in Reno - Modern Photo. A local back in post-war Reno started trash-talking our artist - she showed him! Unveiling at the end of the video!

This is the place to learn interesting things about Reno and Nevada! 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!
