Two of the girls wanted to go jogging in the morning.  2 miles in, they had a change of mind so they called me in the morning to pick them up.  That was why I was up so early.  LOL

We didn't try anything.  please visit the link.  the screen shots I posted is from that.  The first screen shot is the title of the article.  the second is the section where they talked about Elko.  Besides...if you read the title of the article correctly... it said "The best small town to visit in all 50 states".  The article picked out one town in every state.  Please refrain from connecting the dots where there aren't any and drawing conclusions without examining all the facts.  Thank you.

To Mr. ChunkySoup: Good catch, you are correct, the person that published the original article attached an incorrect photograph, one from Telluride. Here is another example:
https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.cntraveler.com%2Fphotos%2F53db0a796dec627b14a14d8d%2Fmaster%2Fpass%2Fnew-sheridan-hotel-telluride-telluride-colorado-103350-1.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cntraveler.com%2Fhotels%2Funited-states%2Ftelluride%2Fnew-sheridan-hotel--telluride&docid=40c1du4oQhN7CM&tbnid=V8Gz6Zqxwa--NM%3A&vet=10ahUKEwjB-KPlpYfUAhVBiFQKHWU4ABQQMwgmKAIwAg..i&w=775&h=582&bih=765&biw=1529&q=sheridan%20hotel%20telluride&ved=0ahUKEwjB-KPlpYfUAhVBiFQKHWU4ABQQMwgmKAIwAg&iact=mrc&uact=8

I know the folks at Inez's, and they are not liars, they are not sleazeballs, they are decent people just trying to earn a living. Lighten up. I suggest if you want to pursue this to its logical conclusion you consider contacting those that published the original article with the wrong photo.

Have a nice day. Go get laid. Have a beer. Maybe two.

They don't seem to have included a photo of Elko at all. Someone here should provide them with one of 3rd and Douglas, where the houses are.

I read the article and felt I got duped by the title of this thread.  It's all good though, I got a good laugh in.  Party on, Elko.

LOL--the reading comprehension level of some of the members of this board must be appalling when they can't understand the basic internet posting of an article with a front-page picture of ONE of those 50 small towns (Telluride, Colorado) being discussed in the article, that those members would automatically think that the front-page picture is of Elko!

After clicking on the link and reading the article, quite a few of the small towns mentioned, including Elko, didn't have pictures associated with them either. I think the article would have been a whole lot better if the author would have included a picture for each small town and that's something that should have been fairly easy to find online.

I'm stunned they didn't mention all the fun things to do on South 3rd Street...
