Ken of the Urban Blog, writing about Reno in Why Not More Casinos?

We would all love to see the glamorous days of Reno’s time as the gambling capital of the world return – just as I know because I have read it, that Mike would like to see the V&T running back down Holcomb Ave and I would like to see it running back through the hills of my own native Washoe Valley. But who would ride the thing? The tourists?
What is the value of a place when the only people who are expected to be interested in and use the interesting things built there are people who don’t even live there?
