"California Split" Photo Card OTD! grin

Here's another scene from one of the Reno casinos that has been leveled and paved over into a park. If you're a real Reno wonk, you'll pick up the logo on the ashtrays.

If you are wondering about Elliot Gould's nosepiece, it relates to a recurring theme in the movie about CA. cardrooms in the past. You could get robbed in the parking lot. I used to drive by Top 'O The Vine in Frazer CA. after it was closed and before I was aware of gaming. After I got into the hobby and made the connection with what I had been looking at, I always figured that mean looking little place was a good place to get shot while you were playing poker. Great chips though! vbg Nowadays, at the same spot, you'll find a transmission shop, a pizza place and a store to rent a California Split video. Sigh.
