A Place A Bunch Of Reno Punks Lived In

In June of 1986, after having shared a 2 bedroom apartment in Sparks, Nevada with 4-5 other punk rock people, my then-partner Angie and I moved ourselves and our underground hardcore/punk rock record label Positive Force into a 2 bedroom apartment on the second floor of a strange-looking building on one of Reno’s main arteries, Kietzke Lane, next door to a nightclub once called The Townhouse, the site of the first 7Seconds show ever, on March 2, 1980.
