anybody know of a cheap tow?

Hi there,

My car blew up last night in the In n Out drive through and now it’s stuck in the parking lot. Does anyone know any affordable tow truck services that can help get my car out? I only need it towed 3 minutes away from Keystone back to Virginia street.

Thanks guys!

I made a free site that shows everything happening in Reno each day

Good morning! My wife and I always struggle to find fun things to do, especially with our little baby. There are a ton of resources if you do some sleuthing, but it's all scattered and time consuming to dig through. So I made a site that brings all those sources together into one simple list. It's free, pulls from a bunch of different calendars, and updates every hour. Kid friendly stuff is at the top, but everything else is on there too: concerts, games, events around town, and a few worth the drive spots in the surrounding areas. I was born and raised here and wanted to give back to the community a little. It's small, but it's something. If you know of a calendar I'm missing or some other source, let me know!

I hope you find it useful. Enjoy :) https://renotoday.org/

UPDATE ON JASON BROWN — THE RENO DOG KILLER case,

There has been very little public information or any recent updates regarding Jason Brown, the Reno man convicted in the horrific dog-killing case, who recently went before the Nevada Parole Board.

I personally called to get an update and was told that his parole was DENIED following his hearing last month. He had been seeking release this October.

However, I was also informed that he WILL be released on March 28, 2027, and that his release on that date is mandatory.

I’m sorry, but how is that even possible? His parole was denied, yet he will still be released just months later?

Considering the horrific cruelty involved in this case, I find this absolutely disturbing and heartbreaking. These innocent animals suffered, and I cannot imagine how anyone who remembers this case could feel comfortable knowing he will soon be back in our community.

March 28, 2027, is less than six months away.

I believe the public deserves to know when someone convicted of such horrific acts of animal cruelty is being released, and we deserve a clear explanation of how our justice system allows this to happen.

I’m absolutely disgusted. 💔🐾

If anyone could help with a small bag of dog food, I would be incredibly grateful ❤️🐾

Hi everyone. ❤️ I’m a little embarrassed to have to ask, but I’m reaching out because I could really use a little help getting some dog food for my fur baby.
Things have been difficult lately, and I’m struggling to afford even the basics right now. I’m just hoping someone might be willing to help with a small bag of dog food to get us through. I’m not asking for anything fancy, just enough to make sure my baby has a full belly. 🐶💗
My dog means the world to me, and asking for help isn’t easy, but making sure my baby is fed comes first.
If anyone is able to help, even with a small bag or a recommendation for local pet food assistance programs, I would truly appreciate it more than you know. And if you can’t help, I completely understand. I know times are tough for everyone right now.❤️
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for showing kindness to someone who could really use it right now. 🙏🐾

Her favorite food is in the photo I shared. But we would be grateful for ANYTHING!

In need if a Lawyer for an HOA dispute

The title pretty much sums things up. My wife and I have been working with a law office for some time now and have sunk a substantial amount of money into services leading up to a hopeful mediation with the real estate divisions. We were informed today that our lawyer is leaving the office and the firm will no longer be able to represent us. I am at a complete loss of where to go or what to do now. I am in need some recommendations of people or firms to talk to.

Flippo will not represent us; Teresa Benitez-Thompson is the only sane choice

He even supports the president's war in Iran! Voting for this guy will not make your life better, Reno!

My family friends lost their home to a devastating fire in Carson City, NV — looking for support and resources

Hi everyone,

I am writing this on behalf of my wife and I's close friends that live in the Carson City area; the Ortiz family. They tragically lost their home to a severe house fire on Tuesday. Thankfully, the family made it out safely, but unfortunately several of their cats are currently unaccounted for. They were only able to escape with their children, their 3 dogs, 3 of 7 cats, and basically the clothes on their backs. 

Right now, their lodging is handled by family, but they are facing the immediate challenge of replacing basic necessities and caring for their displaced pets (3 dogs and 3 cats).

If you are in a position to help, here is how you can support them:

Monetary Donations: We have set up a verified GoFundMe to help them buy immediate clothing, toiletries, and cover emergency vet checks/pet boarding costs. Updates will also be posted there: https://gofund.me/fda4d41b5 

Clothing Donations: This is a conversation point that we are still working on, they need to find out what will be salvageable from the home.

Pet Supplies: They will likely also be looking for dog food, cat food, bowls, and crates while the animals are in temporary housing.

If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this post or the link with others in the local area. Any help, big or small, means the world to them right now as they try to process this tragedy.

Thank you so much for being such an incredible community.

Housing Advice Please, they're denying our ESA dog

Hello, any recommendations on rentals (2bd/1.5 bath, accessible/no stairs) under $2000 including utilities?

We applied for an apartment with two cats, my bf and me, and his disabled/retired mom + her ESA pug is coming with us too as an occupant since she can't afford to live by herself. But they're going back on what they said.

Throughout the process, we always got verbal confirmation that two cats and 1 ESA dog is okay so we went ahead and applied ($300 application fee), no solid written communication though and we only put the cats in the application and didn't put the dog since he's an ESA (plus we were told by multiple people on the phone and on an in-person walkthrough that 2 cats and 1 ESA was okay, but they were very inconsistent/unprofessional at communicating throughout the entire process)

We got approved, paid the $250 holding fee, then gave extra documentation on the ESA pug. And now they're calling to say they don't actually accept 3 pets, and have a 2 pet hard limit. Our option is to re-home one cat or they'll cancel the application and refund us only the holding fee (losing out the $300 non-refundable application fee) .

Anyways I'm not sure if we can do anything so we're back to house hunting if anyone has leads? We have really good credit score, make more than enough, and good rental history, no issues on anything else. Just hoping to stay under $2000 so we can pay off some debts first and save for the future
