See You Tuesday Night in Person for Our Big Event at the Holland Project!

A recap of our recent reporting plus bonus content.

Apr 13, 2025

Above some screenshots of the showing one time only Seasons of Growth being tested inside the Holland Project where we just did a room and sound check.

We are putting the last of the final touches on the 50-minute or so documentary, while our related zines are ready to be distributed.

The event will start at 6:30 p.m. and will also include a q and a panel with the #sheroesofreno highlighted in the film, blazing paths for a healthier, greener and more caring Reno.

It is all free as is everything we do as an independent volunteer media collective, with no ads or any editorial pressures.

If you will be driving in, there’s plenty of free public parking on Vesta and surrounding streets, as well as plenty of spaces in the parking lots of the long closed nearby Rapscallion seafood restaurant.

It will be good to get away for a few hours from social media, where we do most of our work, and the recent flood of hateful comments there, to have a constructive conversation in person, where people don’t just blast each other, and serenely discuss where we are headed as humans, and how collectively we can do better.

The event marks 10 years since we started Our Town Reno, first as a website and a Facebook, with occasional documentaries and in person events such as this one, before also going to podcasting, tweets, a subreddit, a Threads, a Bluesky, a TikTok, a Substack and the citizen-alert fueled BiggestLittleStreets on Instagram.

We started this initiative with stories on local residents being displaced by torn down motels and if any of the content we’ve put out since has informed, helped, reassured, intrigued or enlightened you, we’d be honored if you came around on a Tuesday evening in mid April to watch our new documentary and then share your own ideas about a rapidly changing Reno within a tumultuous world in the very cozy space that is the Holland Project.
