Here are the top 3 stories in Reno today:

  1. It's official: the last diesel-fueled public bus in Reno has been retired as of this weekend. According to The Regional Transportation Commission, all buses in Reno are now either completely or partially electric. This announcement comes a full 13 years ahead of their 2035 estimated alternative-fuel busing plan. (FoxReno.com)
  2. Women from all over the country came to Reno last month to compete in the National Miss Curvy pageant competition. Northern Nevada was the home of two top prize-winning women. Angelina Blare from Sparks was crowned National Miss Curvy 2022 and Mary Meyers from Carson City was crowned National Ms. Curvy Elite. The pageant was created to promote a healthy body image and self-love. Meyers and Blare recently did an interview, available at the link, about what it's like to be in a pageant. (KOLO)
  3. Many Reno residents love to fly fish, but for some, it isn't just a hobby. Reno fire chief Dave Cochran attributes fly fishing to be part of the reason why he's able to successfully do his job. Fly fishing is key for allowing him to decompress and often helps him work through a particularly challenging situation. (KRNV)
