You can thank Jim Mars hof Las Vegas ( well known car dealer)  for revitalizing many of these smaller towns and saloons.
My father (Glenn Wheeler Hildreth) owned the Knights of Pithious (sp) hall in Virginia City where he maintained
an antique store and his domicile for many years. He was responsible for the resurrection
of many historic buildings across Nevada. And, one time president of the Nevada Historical
Society and caretaker of Mark Twain's effects.

I was married at the Silver Queen in Virginia City in 2002, Since divorced but it's nice to see this place once again. If you like this type of town, and you are anywhere near Arkansas, you must visit Eureka Springs.

It's so cool to be able to “travel” a little through the US with your videos. 😆

"i can't pass a saloon called bucket of blood and at least not have a beer."  great line and one of the most replayed parts in the video. We all laughed 😂 12:54

Joe, the house on 402 n Minnesota st Carson City NV 89703 sold for $400,000 in 2022. It’s a 3 bedroom 2 bath  3,502 sqft house built in 1921. Just looked it up from Brisbane Queensland Australia. Love your Utube channel mate.

I like how informative you are and how you spread the info throughout the video, rather than giving it all to us at once lol. I'm into architecture,  so it's cool that you emphasize on some of the buildings.  Take care.

The summer of 71, I was 16 and spent my summer vacation in Gardnerville, NV. Worked a swing shift at Harvey's Buffet line and made a friend who happened to live in VC. @2:05 there are 2 houses on the left, a blue one with the flag flying and a yellow house. My friend lived in the yellow house, which I visited at least a dozen times that summer. Nevada's legislature was in session only 6 months every other year then and 71 was an off year, so Carson City and VC were virtual ghost towns. Imagine walking the VC "main" street without all of the flags, banners and signs cluttering up the buildings. Without brightly painted buildings and store fronts it reminded me of a street scene from "Gunsmoke", except for the asphalt road. The Bucket of Blood interior, where my friend's mother worked, wasn't painted all white and clean looking. Dark walls, uneven floor, low interior lighting with only what light came in through the front entrance made it seem like you actually transported back to the late 1800s. What you see today is almost a Disney characterization of what Virginia City once was.

Carson city looks to be the town of dreams almost perfection, especially those white picket fences ,houses well kept ,good size sections , reminds one of the older TV shows when life was different,eben though they were filmed in studio sets and streets ,all this thinking of life perfect,then one wakes up and faces reality.

My family lived in Carson City when I was a teenager in the mid and late 70s, my little sister was born there.  We were one of 4 African American families at the time.  The husband of a neighbor of ours did maintainance for the Bunny Ranch, one Saturday he was called in for an emergency and with my parents permission I went with him.  Got to conversate with a couple of the ladies there, they were really nice, it wasn't busy that time of day .  🤣  I often hung out at Stewart Indian School and Carson Indian Colony with friends .

These are towns we all grew up hearing about in the westerns, it’s really amazing to see the living history.

I grew up in Reno. My great great grandfather was the Managing Editor or the "Territorial Enterprise" newspaper in Virginia City. Mark Twain was a writer at the paper at that time. Twain and my grandfather, left together to start another paper in the bay area. Mark Twain wrote his obituary. I have a copy!

Beautiful historic town.

I lived in the Tahoe area several years ago and went to Virginia City many times. It was great to see it again through your eyes.

I was born in Tulsa but we moved to this area as a kid and absolutely loved it. I am still in Nevada today and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. Thanks for sharing!

They say Reno is so close to Hell you can see Sparks...........

Carson City looks beautiful, a real credit to the people who live there.

I you drove down the mountain the back way into Reno, you would see houses on the side of the mountain that look as if they were chopper lifted in.

I'm from Brazil and I use your videos to improve my english. Thank you for these amazing content.

Really great Vlog Joey.   How cool! And as a Brit, I’m enjoy your beautiful country.  I think this was my favourite town to date.  😊
Stay safe folks 😊

Both places are spectacular! Thanks for showing me around your beautiful country.
