Boy , am I getting old. I keep forgetting to tell you. They are not all Reno . The Tarry Motel( did not have -we speak german on the sign when we had it) & the Lariat Lodge we had are in Sparks . Must mention that town as it is very nice. The Tarry is appx 10 blocks west of John Ascuaga's Nugget and the Lariat 10 blocks East of it.
I made several comments as you can see below. Latest news.The Lariat Lodge(they call it Motel but not the original name) on 3rd & B st. in Sparks was on fire yesterday morning. They say kept to 1 room but from the looks of it I don't think so. A shame as it brings back some nice memories for myself and my 2 sons. My son went and took a picture and emailed it to me. It IS a shame that they have not kept them up. some of them are pretty bad. They weren't in the 60's and 70's when we had them.
I should have waited before making my last comment.!! THE SMALL STILL PICTURE TO THE RIGHT WE CLICK ON, BUILDING IS YELLOW? YOUR HEADLINE READS NADA DADA MOTEL WAS OURS--- CALLED THE TARRY MOTEL! SO... WHERE DOES THAT HEADLINE COME FROM?
I am working on a coloring book of all the old motels on 4th Street. cleanning them up a bit as you can see. A group of us artists are participating in Nada Dada Motel.. go on YouTube to see what other artists are doing with Nada Dada.
@algerfrenchie Did you check out the video? It shows what I am doing for the Nada Dada Event. The Tarry is just one of about 15 old and run down motels I am drawing for the coloring book.
I wrote the comment here 6 months ago. The only thing I don't understand is--NADA-DADA motel????? There was no such a motel here. If now, where is it. I'm curious. We knew all the owners around, so---????? Anyway I just emailed this to one of my sons. They grew up in both of the motels .Also, one on south Virginia , The Eldorado Motel.
You showed one of our motels we owned in the 70's. The Tarry motel on B st (now called Victorian Ave). The other was the Lariat Lodge motel on 3rd & B.Some of those you show are in Sparks and some are in Reno. Unfortunately they are old and have not been kept up.Only a few still look as they did then and rent by the month. It's a shame to see that.
Patty you are so very talented. I hope that you don't mind that I consider you a personal hero and mentor to me whether you realize it or not.
Maybe you have advice for me on finding my niche with modeling/photography in a style similar to Cindy Sherman as most of my stuff is self taught and shot due to my hearing.
