Western Nevada- Part 1/4 (GENOA, CARSON CITY & BOWER'S MANSION)
On this adventure, Brian takes you through one of the most underrated states in the country. Known largely for its legal gambling and prostitution and miles of arid sageland, most visitors to the state never venture beyond the neon streets of Reno and Vegas. However, Brian quickly discovers that there is much more to Nevada then meets the eye.
Brian's journey begins near the California border, in the state's oldest town, Genoa. After visiting the town's main sites, Brian continues to the state capital of Carson City. After stopping by some of the city's most famous buildings, he heads to the Nevada State Museum, to learn more about the state he'll be exploring. Brian concludes his tour of the area with a visit to the historic Bower's Mansion.

Founded in 1858, Carson City was named for the nearby Carson River, discovered and named by John C. Fremont for his scout Christopher “Kit” Carson. It wasn’t until Abraham Curry purchased Eagle Station, a central station and ranch that was vital to the community when discussion of establishing Carson City began.
Today, Carson City serves as the Nevada state capitol and is only 30 minutes south of Reno, surrounded by the spectacular Sierra Nevadas and Lake Tahoe 30 minutes to the west. Carson City still acts as the passenger center it was during its formation, with residents of Virginia City 20 minutes to the east and residents of Minden and Gardnerville 25 minutes south, passing through often en route to Reno or Sparks.
The capitol's historic past is kept alive through the Nevada State Capitol Building, Nevada Supreme Court, and Nevada Legislature Building all in the center of downtown Carson City. For a thorough look into the history of Carson, head to the Nevada State Museum, boasting 11,000 square feet of exhibit space. The Nevada State Railroad Museum displays railroad cars from the Virginia & Truckee Railroad and delves into the compelling history of Carson's formation. The Bowers Mansion Regional Park has maintained and restored the Bowers Mansion, once a showcase of the wealthy elite in the late 1800s. Now, the park offers a playground, swimming pool, and seasonal concert series.
Hit the Carson City Fairgrounds for the annual Carson City Fair every summer, or enjoy the neighboring Fuji Park and Baily Fishing Pond year-round.
Students of Carson Middle School and Eagle Valley Middle School will graduate into Carson High School. Carson High is an excellent school serving students of the community. The home of the Senators provides wonderful sports facilities to students alongside an education that prepares students for college-level courses. Higher education is offered through Western Nevada College right in Carson City, or head north to Reno to the University of Nevada, Reno. The Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center Campus calls Carson City home and is only a 30-minute commute to either Reno or Lake Tahoe.
Carson City is an excellent place for families with an abundance of stores, businesses, and outdoor recreation. Clear Creek Plaza offers a Walmart Supercenter and Trader Joes. Carson Valley Plaza across the street features Best Buy, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Marshalls. Eagle Station Shopping Center has Raley’s, Kohl’s, JCPenney, and Ross, in addition to popular restaurants like Buffalo Wild Wings.
When you’re looking for something to do around town, check for movie times at Galaxy Fandango Theater. Head across the street to Casino Fandango to hit the tables or slots if you’re feeling lucky. Finally, golfers can enjoy up to six public golf courses like the beloved Silver Oak Golf Course. Silver Oak Golf Course is a favorite because of its varied scenery throughout the course. The first nine holes provide incredible views of the Carson Valley while the last nine feature glimpses of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the impeccable homes surrounding the golf course.

Washoe Valley has a rich, deep history with the native Washoe People’s hunters and gatherers that predates the Comstock Lode and discovery of gold and silver in the valley. Once gold was found in the valley, miners, loggers, and traders invaded the area to move supplies from Lake Tahoe to Virginia City. As the land around Washoe Lake and throughout Washoe Valley developed, Washoe Lake State Park was designated in 1977. The park was created so that future generations could enjoy its beauty.
With Washoe City classified today as a Nevada Ghost Town, New Washoe City has settled on the eastern beaches of Washoe Lake. It earned its name from Washoe City, bordering the northwestern shore of Little Washoe Lake. Because of the valley’s proximity to Washoe Lake, residents have their choice of Nevada’s finest recreation. The Scripps State Wildlife Management Area offers fantastic hiking trails and ideal waters for kayaking. Bike along Eastlake Boulevard inside Washoe Valley State Park or set up camp at the Main Area Campground.
The Toiyabe Golf Club is a premier golf club at the southwestern shore of Washoe Lake. The lake, large scale homes, and breathtaking views of Mount Rose surround the golf course. Enjoy a round on the 18-hole course before enjoying a meal at the Toiyabe Golf Club Restaurant. The Incline Village Champion Golf Course is a 45-minute drive from the community, yielding greens at a higher elevation that weave through the forested surroundings of Incline Village. Stay the night at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe for a mini-vacation to the idyllic Lake Tahoe community.
Carson City is only 20 minutes south of West Washoe Valley, bringing a great deal of Nevada’s history right to residents’ fingertips. Enjoy a tour of the Nevada State Museum or the Nevada State Capitol. The closest casino to Washoe Lake is Casino Fandango in southern Carson City. Carson City’s various shopping centers draw in residents as well. Clear Creek Plaza and Carson Valley Plaza face each other with a Trader Joe’s, Walmart Supercenter, Costco Wholesale, Best Buy, and Bed Bath and Beyond.
Bowers Mansion Regional Park is across the lake from New Washoe City. The mansion is a historical site, capturing the wealthy lifestyle of the Bowers Family during the Comstock Lode. In addition to tours of the manor, the park has a children’s playground and community pool, as well as an annual concert series held on the lawn.
New Washoe City is 15 minutes from the Summit Reno, an outdoor shopping center that provides over 60 different retailers, businesses, and restaurants. The store's range from Old Navy to Dilliard’s and boast favorite local restaurants Burger Me!, Bab Cafe, Skipolini’s, and Miguel’s Mexican Food.

Students of West Washoe Valley begin their education at Pleasant Valley Elementary School before heading to Depoali Middle School. Before Depoali opened in 2009, Damonte Ranch High School served as both a junior and senior high school. Opened in 2001, the Damonte Ranch Mustangs are cross-town rivals to the Galena High Grizzlies.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

SUMMARY
=======
The United States presidential election of 1924 was the 35th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 4, 1924. In a three-way contest, incumbent Republican President Calvin Coolidge won election to a full term.
Coolidge had been vice president under Warren G. Harding and became president in 1923 upon Harding's death. Coolidge was given credit for a booming economy at home and no visible crises abroad, and he faced little opposition at the 1924 Republican National Convention. The Democratic Party nominated former Congressman John W. Davis of West Virginia, making Davis the first major party nominee who had held public office in a former slave state since the end of the Civil War. Davis, a compromise candidate, triumphed on the 103rd ballot of the 1924 Democratic National Convention after a deadlock between supporters of William Gibbs McAdoo and Al Smith. Dissatisfied by the conservativism of both major party candidates, the Progressive Party nominated Senator Robert La Follette of Wisconsin.
Garland S. Tucker, in a 2010 book, argues that the election marked the high tide of American conservatism, as both major candidates campaigned for limited government, reduced taxes, and less regulation. By contrast, La Follette called for the gradual nationalization of the railroads and increased taxes on the wealthy.
Coolidge won a decisive victory, taking majorities in both the popular vote and the Electoral College and winning almost every state outside of the Solid South. La Follette won 16.6% of the popular vote, a strong showing for a third party candidate, while Davis won the lowest share of the popular vote of any Democratic nominee in history.
