Covering a few blocks on either side of Virginia Street between Interstate 80 and the Truckee River, Downtown Reno packs a ton of amenities and attractions into a fairly small area. The city’s famous casinos and the Reno Events Center bring world-class entertainment on a regular basis, the nightlife is always in full swing, and unique cafes and restaurants are all over the area.

Scenic green spaces like Wingfield Park and City Plaza are great for taking some quiet time and enjoying the sunshine. The University of Nevada, Reno’s campus sits just north of Downtown, making it a highly convenient location for students, faculty, and university staff. Best of all, many Downtown apartments and condos are available for very affordable rates, putting all of this at your doorstep even if you’re on a tight budget.

In some areas it gets really bad and much protection is needed. Mostly schools, colleges, hospitals and more. People should stop pollution in the environment and start making a difference.
