This authentic 1980s color photograph captures the vibrant street life of Virginia Street in downtown Reno, Nevada, on February 15, 1982. The bustling scene at the intersection of Douglas Alley features iconic landmarks including the vertical blue “Horseshoe” sign and the “Sahara Hotel Casino” marquee. To the right, a large First Interstate Bank digital display shows the correct time as 9:24 and the temperature at 46 degrees. A prominent banner overhead advertises the “Leonard vs. Finch” welterweight championship fight at the Centennial Coliseum. In the foreground, pedestrians in early eighties winter clothing wait at the “Don’t Walk” sign, while a purple pickup truck and a yellow taxi navigate the street.
