Worst part was it wasn't even civilians being loud it was the staff. And on top of being so loud they were all rude and snappy at the children and other people browsing.

I've driven by this Ranger District Office several times without paying it much mind, other than…read morenoting that its location being in "The City". I also wondered recently whether Federal budget cuts would take their toll here. I stopped in today to buy a Lifetime Senior National Parks pass. It was only $80 and the friendly guy at the counter was more than happy to run the transaction. While I was waiting, I couldn't help but admire the huge selection of area "outdoors" books, maps, and gifts. It's also a nice information desk for an area that has a lot to offer.

It is an office that has an information desk and a small gift shop, similar to a chamber of commerce. Some of the maps and brochures are free. They sell mostly books about the national forests, as well as some clothing, mugs, and teddy bears. The office was empty when I arrived, but a gentleman came out and greeted me. He said they are the U.S. Forest Service, with is a branch of the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture). He kindly explained that they are different from the National Parks System (NPS), which is a branch of the U.S. Department of the Interior, but they do have national parks information here, as a courtesy. He must get these questions a lot, as many tourists pass through here. I asked him about this, and he said their busy season begins now. I also saw the fire advisory sign out front, so I asked him why they are now called "wild fires". When I was a child in the 70's, they were called "forest fires", and Smokey Bear used to give warnings: "only YOU can prevent forest fires". He explained that they sometimes also have grass fires on their lands, so they changed the term. I also asked where their district's boundaries are, and he said they control the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest along the California-Nevada border, from the Dog Valley northwest of Reno, to Alpine County in California, an area about 15 miles wide and 100 miles long. I said I would look the U.S. Forest Service up online to learn more about them, and the employee kindly gave me a brochure which explains everything. They have maps and other tourist information outside, as well as a boot cleaner by the door. Parking was easy, right in front.

Well, this review is for the Public Works Street Maintenance Dept. They really do get on problems if you just let them know what it is and it's a real hazard. Example, there was a huge pot hole in the neighborhood that need fixing. I called in and it was fixed in a day. But my latest call was for a big pile of glass in the street that was causing a real hazard. Called in at 8am and by 8:15 (15 min later) there was a sweeper running up the street cleaning up the glass .... dang 15 min response time! Now, that service .... that would never happen in a big city like LA or SF.

I went here today, Tuesday, May 28, 2019. I was planning to go to Carson City Parks & Recreation,…read morebut my GPS led me here, so I went in to ask for the location. I was very happy. It was a nice office with two sets of doors in the entryway; and with a large, modern waiting room, complete with a fish tank. When I told the employee who came to the front desk I was looking for Parks & Recreation, she jokingly said "you're close!". She then pulled out a laminated map to show me where it was. They must have people get lost like this a lot, lol! The office I was seeking was a few hundred feet away. I thanked her as she was very nice. When I told her my GPS led me here, she laughed and said the opposite is true when people input Public Works' address. They end up going to Parks & Recreation. I then asked her about the Public Works open house which they had a few weeks ago (see my Yelp tip posted here or this pic: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/carson-city-public-works-carson-city?select=GZl7-D04tab1QjDIvmJrug&utm_campaign=www_photo_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) ). It was held on a Saturday with all kinds of family activities and the Bus Boy Mobile Cuisine on site. I had planned to add it to the Yelp events, but I didn't have time. I also wanted to go, but again, I just couldn't make it. I asked if they would have it next year, and she said definitely yes. They had held in in September 2017 for the first time, but people complained it was too hot. Then they didn't have last year. For 2019, they moved it up to May, and it went really well. I promise I will add this to the Yelp events next year. I am looking forward to going. As I was about to leave, I noticed there were also a ton of freebies on the counter, like refrigerator magnets, fans, pens, and paper rulers. I asked if I could take some, and she said that is what they're for! She explained voluntarily that they had two types of pens, and I could have one of each! She also asked me if I had gotten my free voucher for landfill disposal. I said I didn't need one, but was glad she offered it I thanked her. As I left, I noticed there was a wall of business cards for many of the employees. I took a pic of these for Yelp. I had a great experience here and will be sure to return if necessary!

Starting with the people who greeted me just inside the door, people smiled and spoke to me, making me feel like family the first week.

He reads and uses scriptural passages in his messages, applying them to life situations and showing us how we can better live our lives according to God's plan for us. This is a church very focused on ministry and service, with many opportunities to serve. There are also several group prayer times at the church during the week.

Guest services was very clean. The front desk staff was very attentive and offered to store my personal belongings. Upon arrival you will be offered a keepsake photo for your Instagram and given slippers for your stay. Room was not overly decorated. Unfortunately, there was no turn down service and the mattresses were not very comfortable. Complimentary meals were served three times a day. The food was like nothing I've never experienced. Portions could have been larger. Beverage service was below average. Not a large selection. There is limited cell service and no access to the internet. A real off the grid experience. It's a wonderful place to have time alone to reboot and really get to know yourself again. They have a great incentive plan for guests staying more then one night. You receive a significant reduction in your final lodging invoice. Overall, my stay was very eye opening. I regret to say I will not make reservations again.

We have been on a quest to visit all the state capitol buildings. This Nevada one was our 28th. I…read morealways enjoy the history of the area and the structure itself. This building was more museum like and less active use than others we have been to. They had several other buildings on the grounds where the assembly, senate, and state supreme court are actively working. The governor's office was still in the original main building. They had some nice museum displays that we walked through on our self guided tour. We came on a weekday and were able to walk through most every area of the building. The original rooms for the assembly, senate, and supreme court were preserved to be as they may have been in their early days of use. There was a lot of wood accents throughout the foyer area on the staircases and trim. The outside grounds had some monuments and statues to see, and a lot of lush green trees around the building. We could not get a photo of the exterior of the building with the dome due to the heavy tree cover. There was a scale model in the museum that shows what the structure looks like so we got an idea of the size and configuration. If in town, I'd recommend making this stop to experience the heart of US history.

Admission here is free and there was not really a tour so we wandered around on our own. The hallways have large portraits of prior Governors.

The second floor has the Supreme Court and the Assembly, as well as a very informative museum about the history of Nevada. It is not a very large building so you can get through it all in about thirty minutes.
