What's my name? Caption Winners
A recap of recent Our Town Reno reporting plus bonus content.
When we announced an informal caption contest for the above Jacobs Entertainment placed giant sculpture, we didn’t expect so many insightful responses.
So rather than picking an absolute winner, here’s a list of some of our favorites from across our social media channels. Thanks to all who participated and all the great responses.
From Facebook:
Jess Ebbe: I'm here to chew bubblegum, buy out Reno and and increase the homeless population. And I'm all out of bubblegum.
Stephun Ananda: Gonna machete 4th Street and make it fun like a straw hat!!
Meg Davidson: Heard there was Gold 'n Silver inn Reno.
Salem Lynn Thornton: That's the warrior that protects gentrification by making the homeless people magically go to a part of town Jacobs isn't trying to turn into Little Vegas.
Lisa Lee: Gerald the General of Gentrification standing guard.
