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.
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!
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...
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!
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.
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'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.
Great video Steve! I love old buildings that have been saved, updated minimally, and still in use. This one was awesome!

You deserve a Pliny for sure 😊

What is going on with the many bikes in the rafters? Great show.
The elevator itself is a video!
wow!!!!! so cool.....is there a ghost?
Not that I've encountered! ;-)
💪
No need to mention why bicycles are in the rafters, I'll travel to Reno from Kentucky and ask the owner.
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?
