Lizzy Tex Borden's

 
This is a postcard that I picked up along our
travels sometime in the 1960s. The Ponderosa
Hotel in Reno Nevada. As a kid I loved it here
because I related the name with one of my favorite
TV shows, Bonanza. There was no actual connection
with the TV show, but that didn't bother me.

Just look at that fine couple enjoying a steak dinner
while on their vacation. Looks very inviting to me.



Here is the back of the postcard. I remember being here
in the summertime when it was beautifully hot in the
middle of the night or very early morning, just walking
around alone as a kid. I LOVED it.

Nowadays this place is a rundown hotel
and strip club.
