“I’ve been President for four years. I’ve committed to working very closely with Reno, the Washoe County Commission, the town of Sparks, and all of Northern Nevada to emphasize what we have here. I grew up in Northern Nevada. I grew up in Sparks and went to grade school and high school at this incredible university. It was a wonderful place to grow up, and I’m proud of this community. A great university needs a great city, and a great city needs a great university. It’s rare to have the proximity of a university to downtown Reno and then have the two grow up together.
The first building was built in 1885, overlooking all of downtown Reno. This university grew up on a hill overlooking the city for everyone to admire and is just an example of what we can aspire to. This should be a university town where people are proud of this campus and what it is and the opportunity for their sons and daughters to come here and get an incredible education.”

“Home Means Nevada to me for so many reasons. It’s always a place where I find comfort and solace. We travel a lot, we camp a lot, and I just love coming home. My name is Scott Duncith, and I’m the owner of the Home Means Nevada Company, which was formerly Reno Envy.
I grew up in the Bay Area and attended UNR. My plan was to spend two years in Reno and then go back home. But after two years, I fell in love with the place.
I love the people and the community. It’s just been awesome. I was talking to a friend. I was giving him my address, so I told him Scott Dunseath, Reno, NV, And he was like, Reno Envy?
I’m like, Reno Envy? So it was at that moment that was our aha moment; I realized that the state abbreviation for Nevada Envy sounded like the word Envy. So that’s where it all started.”

My favorite part of living down town is that I walk out my front door and I'm two minutes to the river. The moment I set eyes on the water, hear the rush of the rapids, and see the brilliant blue sky my mood lifts! I can cruise down the beautiful river path, grab a coffee, and cover a 3 mile nature loop in a hour. Best mornings ever!
I utilize the river access all the time. So, when my dog and I go for walks, there are no longer homeless people with their encampments littered along the pathways and/or parks. The river corridor is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy nature. Thank you so much for cleaning up downtown!
My favorite hidden gem of Downtown Reno is hands down the Powning District. Specifically the beautiful area of Riverside Drive right along the Truckee! Its a great spot to grab a coffee or ice cream and enjoy the River or meet friends on the beautiful patio right outside some the the best local shops!
I enjoy running around downtown Reno. Can't beat running along the Truckee River -- not many cities have a river running through the middle of it. And running on the UNR campus is a treat because the campus is so beautiful and quiet especially around the old Quad.
Lucky enough to live downtown Reno since 2008. Love it here, and look at the view I get to see every day.
