Props for Reno

Much to my wife's disdain, I love the Comedy Central show Reno 911. If you haven’t seen it, let's just say Lieutenant Dangle and crew don't always portray our beloved city in the best light.

So it's nice to see Reno getting some well deserved props: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Next-Generation-Consulting-prnews-15500060.html?.v=1

Next Generation Consulting of Madison, Wis., has named Reno as one of the hot "Next Cities" for young professionals to live and work. Reno ranks 17th among mid-sized cities based on factors such as living costs, wages and after-hours activities. I do find it a little suspect that their home town of Madison was ranked number 1, but we will give them the benefit of the doubt.

And for all you business owners and entrepreneurs across the border dealing with high taxes and cost of doing business in California, Reno has 300+ days of sunshine, world-class skiing, minimal traffic, affordable housing, a river that runs through our downtown, and no state income tax.
