Knowing Nevada: Secrets hidden below downtown Reno
Reno, NV | During the mid-1960s, bomb shelters were common additions to homes and buildings under construction. Several still exist throughout Reno, including underneath the downtown Washoe County Library. What is not a common sight, however, is the World War II submarine engine found well below Harrah's Reno. In 1962, Bill Harrah needed a backup generator to power his hotel-casino and he wanted something that no other gaming property had. The engine still sits below Second and Center street

Some Other Sign that People Do Not Totally Regret Life - 99% Invisible
"One night, drunk and stumbling around the Hudson River with his friend Malissa O’Donnell, he discovered a monument — two of them actually — to two of his poetry heroes. Apropos of the name of this show, the tribute wasn’t very obvious. In fact, he and Malissa nearly walked right past it. Still, embedded in the architecture of a 25 year old plaza were the words of Walt Whitman and Frank O’Hara."
