Reno's Peppermill; a mile or so from what’s left of The
Strip's glory years. In the
sixties the strip was a glittering string of casinos and hotels; Fitzgerald’s, The Sahara (which
would become the Flamingo Hilton), Mapes, The Nevada Club, Cal Neva, Harold’s Club and a full deck of smaller players. The strip has since been stripped.
Baby Boomer: A person born during a baby boom, especially one born in the U.S. between 1946 and 1965. I am a boomer; son of a U.S. soldier and his Italian war bride, back from Europe to make their lives in California. I’ve seen generations of change in culture, society, technology and politics; some good some not. I've witnessed wars both cold and hot. This is my America. A collection of stories, events, nostalgia and commentary, sometimes wry, through the eye of an American Boomer.
