Hi, hope everyone is doing well!

I was surfing the web this morning, and go figure, I randomly just came across this photo essay of Reno that I wanted to share.

http://joejohnsonprojects.com/index.php/project/the-playing-field/

There was a note in the article it linked off of stating that the photographer intentionally shot all of the photos with long exposure times to eliminate too many people being in them. Awesome perspectives, no doubt, and it looks like the bulk of the interior shots were divided up between the Peppermill and the Atlantis - I'd recognize that mirrored stairwell at the Pep by the Tower elevators leading down from the Blazing Sevens kiosk to the restrooms any day! I think the "Basement Escalators" and "Escalator Well" shots might be those at the Eldorado - the carpet is a dead giveaway.

I'm trying to determine which two downtown motels are in the shots called "Motel Office" and "Motel with Hotels," but the "Roller Rink" shot is definitely Roller Kingdom on East 7th Street - I used to take that route as a shortcut getting between downtown and Wells Avenue, as it always seemed to save a bit of time getting to the interstate overpass vs. walking down 6th Street.

Aah, memories!

After doing a little driving around via Google maps, I believe the motel is the Reno motel on Arlington. https://goo.gl/maps/CExcJ
