I used to work in an old warehouse by the railroad yards in Sparks. Whenever I needed parts to fix something in the building, quite often I had to go to Flannigan's Hardware, because they were the only place in the area that had replacement parts for those old buildings. As for that tunnel, that could be a future episode, if you don't mind getting dirty.
I was born and raised in Reno and now live in California. I subscribed because I really liked this story and learning about the Flannigan Building and the town Flannigan, who knew?
We just moved to Sparks from NC and wanted to thank you for your time,knowledge and research about the history of places nearby. I have enjoyed all your videos.
I could listen to Ed tell stories all day. What an interesting man. If only that elevator could talk what stories IT could tell. Outstanding presentation as usual.
I love this channel so much, I show ot to everyone I know who lives here and loves history like I do.. we really don't learn much local history here unless you go looking for it! Thanks TRYK!
That hearse. The tunnel. Wow! Another great story about my favorite city. That owner really warmed up to you - he started a little hesitant but was spouting out stories and practically breaking teapots to show you the safe, by the end!
What a great story!!!! Thinking that underground tunnel may have been a block ice drop from the box cars to supply the meat company ice house across the tracks. Bet he sells that sled-mounted hearse now!
I knew about Flanagan as the crossing between the western pacific and southern pacific, didn’t know anything else about it or Mr Flanagan or the building on 4th street I’ve driven by a thousand times. Pretty cool. I delivered parlay cards to shanty Dolans up until a couple weeks ago when Caesars changed my route. I was wondering if there was a connection between Tom Dolan and the owner of the ole shanty. Guess I should have talked to him more. Thanks so much for this show. Really enjoyed it…
I’d love to have you come over the state line and continue along the Lincoln Highway. I’m a manager at Poor Red’s Bbq in El Dorado. If you ever want to come explore gold country, I’d be happy to accommodate. We have a lot of history and I think it would be a great opportunity all around.
Steve, that was great! Thank you. Great local owner and his knowledge of the building is amazing to see. He cares and so do you. I live with the parents of Shanty Dolan's owners and I think Mrs. Dolan and I will be shopping his store very soon. I'll tell him to cut you in on the commish...
wow, chalk up another great one, Steve! i've long wondered what the inside of the old Flanigan Warehouse looked like -- somehow i had no idea it was open as a functioning store! looks like a great place, so now i need to check it out.
Great channel! Use to live in Reno and love it! Forever Yours is definitely one of the best furniture stores you can ever see. Definitely subscribing to your channel!
I'm going to go on a sidetrack (or diversion) here. I was born and raised in Boise, idaho. My grandparents, cousins, etc. owned several farms around Idaho Falls, Idaho (both my parents graduated HS from Idaho Falls HS and went to ISU, while I went to BSU). We spent a lot of time crossing the Idaho desert. Occasionally, we were stopped by Basque sheepherders (not to be confused with the Star Wars, "nerf herders") while they crossed the Idaho desert. While, I am not Basque, the region between Boise and Reno have a lot of Basque people and many, many fine restaurants. Go check them out. Most are severed family style (you share a table with random people). And if you happen by Jordan Valley, Oregon, there is a Basque handball court that you just might be able to pick up a game.
I love that building! That's OLD! I woud've guessed (and did) around 1915... Back in the 90's I bought an antique (replica) novelty boot-jack shaped like a cootie bug there. I don't use it to take my boots off (i'm usually barefoot) but hung it on my wall. I'm drinking a WINTER RIDE double-bock lager from some brewery in San Jose. Dark, bitter + delicious. A beer that bites back!
Another cool old building you might consider highlighting is the Mill End Fabric store, a favorite of Burners for decades. It started out as the Reno Postal Distribution Center then eventually became Camroc Studios. The rumor I had heard was that Lionel Richie and Diana Ross both flew into Reno for a lightning stop one night with each enroute to pressing show obligations and recorded the hit "Endless Love" (from movie of same name) in one shot in that studio!
Sheep herders and Nevada, good ole history. I live in Wadsworth. I don’t think you have produced a historical video in Wadsworth, Nv. The old train RR round house was historical. Can you please create a video on Wadsworth?

Glad to share the info - thanks!
Thank you I always wondered
Wow another great video Steve! So much history. That elevator is incredible! Keep up the amazing work
They don't build things like they used to! Thanks for the amazing tour!
Thank you Steve for another wonderful video. I hope to visit them in the next year.
My pleasure - thanks for checking it out!

Lots of great stuff for your home there! Thanks!
I used to make deliveries to that building 50 years ago. The hardwood floors in the receiving area always intrigued me.
Outstanding research and presentation dude. The road trip looked fun too.
Thanx! It was nice to get into the outback for a bit!
Outstanding video! I'm entertained and educated at the same time; what's not to like?
Thanks!!
wow!!!!! so cool.....is there a ghost?
Not that I've encountered! ;-)
What is going on with the many bikes in the rafters? Great show.
You deserve a Pliny for sure 😊
💪

If you're into Nevada Railroad history you know about Flanagan.

Interesting!
It lookslike the kingman powerhouse that supplied the electricity for the hooverdam to be built.

I talked about it some in my "Demolish This?" video. But there's more story there for sure!
I was hoping you would ask him about the antique bicycle's.
Saw the Aggie sweat shirt? What’s the connection?
That is my late dad's sweatshirt. My dad and my mom met at UC Davis!
How about diners, dives in Reno, Landrums?
I did a beer segment one one of my videos (can't remember which one) at Beefy's on S. Virginia if thats the one you mean!
flanigan is right where they do the high sierra fly in
Curious if the Cherry Glen Way (17:10) sign is legit or a novelty. Lost streets of Reno episode?
Hash Lane
No need to mention why bicycles are in the rafters, I'll travel to Reno from Kentucky and ask the owner.
no ducks in your Jeep?
No sir.
