I haven't been to Reno for a few months but we all know of the " $400 MILLION ..." construction project(s) going on at the P Mill.

Well today I got an e mail from them with a pic and some info I thought I should share with y'all.

First let me say I'm old enough to remember John Kennedy's " Ich bin ein Berliner..." quote. Even back then, I knew enough German to know the correct translation for JFK was, " I am a creamy cupcake".

Which is a long way around to inquire why would the P Mill would open another new restaurant and name it, " Cookies" or maybe "Crackers".

From Dictionary.com: "Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1) - Cite This Source - Share This
bis·cot·to /biˈskɔttɔ; Eng. bɪˈskɒtoʊ/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[bee-skawt-taw; Eng. bi-skot-oh] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation

A COOKIE OR A CRACKER."

And another thing... What the hell did the P Mill do with Virginia Street? look at this picture:

Note to John:

MY e mail also had this dead link with what should have been a web page version of my e mail:

Maybe you should let them know they hired the wrong web master...

JD, the link now works for some odd reason. Maybe their webmaster read your post. They didn't hire me to do their site because I don't charge enough.
And yes, Virginia Street is now gone in front of the Peppermill.

This morning's RGJ had a brief article that claims the restaurant will open November 22, Thanksgiving day and the ballroom will open November 30. No mention of the rooms or any of the other features. Some photos are on-line at the RGJ's web site:

I think the Peppermill will look great when its completed. I am excited for all the changes. I plan on heading down there in march.

Since I have no life to speak of, I often try to figure out just what is being said in those press releases.

This propensity to snoop with my past career as a spy, leads me to click on that Anise flavored cookie "Biscotti" link provided in my e mail: E mail - Biscotti's =

Odd, that couple dining at BISCOTTI'S looks A LOT like this couple dining at Romanza: P Mill Home - Dining - Romanza =

I just got a mailer that said to visit anytime in December for a three night complimentary stay in the new tower. It looks like they will open earlier than the December 15th that is mentioned on the webpage?

Alison -next visit in March? The new car smell will be gone by then. Very Happy

Alison when in March are you going? I looked at their website and it will only show a price for the first week in March or so?! You can't beat that deal!

Sorry Alison I meant Southwest Airlines showing a price for just the first week in March. I figured Peppermill has to open their arms to one of their biggest fans! I am sure you will have a ball.
