Dave Knows: Elko

Basque food. — The Star, Biltoki’s, etc. Plus Chorizos at just about every event!

The sun — As much as I hate the extreme heat and cold, waking up to a bright sunny day 80% of the time is nice.

 
Great customer service — some businesses are great and still give off that friendly small-town vibe

Casinos –  (Sports betting specifically.  GO BLAZERS!)

Brothels — Dancing and Diddling FTW! No, I’ve never actually been to one.  I’m terrified.

The Elko Snow Bowl  — Skiing and snowboarding only 5 miles from town (when there’s enough snow)

The Ruby Mountains and Lamoille canyon.  Really beautiful.

Wireless Beehive  — if you have visibility to the towers above the “E” you can get broadband internet for $30/month and stick it to Frontier.

Centrally located — In less than 4 hours we can be in Boise, Salt Lake City, or Reno.  I guess it’s kinda sad when one of the things I love about Elko is that it’s only 4 hours away from a real city. 

Garbage pickup twice a week — and multiple cans, too! 

I-80 is a really nice highway — 80 miles per hour, a big median, and well-maintained.  Beats the heck out of the cobblestone roads in Idaho.  Just watch out for deer.
