The story of the three Reno arches fascinates me--there’s the original, which is now a few blocks over from its original location after finally being restored back in the 90s, then there was a second arch (pictured in this post) from the mid-60s to the mid-80s that looked like this and now serves as the gateway to the California Redwoods, and above is the current arch that dates back to 1987. 

As a lover of neon, I adore it: I love the bright pink of the lettering, and the star design they kept from the second iteration, and it looks so delightfully 80s in its aesthetic. As I’ve been doing some more research on the history of the arches, however, I get a little bummed out by seeing how much surrounding neon lights have gone away from around the arch--take the lead photo, taken 20 years ago, in this article as an example. How I wish that rainbow bridge was still a thing, because even though I don’t like bridges, I would have walked on that one with abandon.
