Tonopah, NV (No. 3)
The Mizpah Hotel is a historic hotel in Tonopah, Nevada, U.S. It is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
The Mizpah and the nearby Belvada Building, both five stories high, shared the title of tallest building in Nevada until 1927. The hotel was named after the Mizpah Mine and was the social hub of Tonopah. The hotel was pre-dated by the Mizpah Saloon, which opened in 1907, and was the first permanent structure in Tonopah. The hotel was financed by George Wingfield, George S. Nixon, Cal Brougher and Bob Govan and designed by George E. Holesworth of Reno, Nevada (other sources state that the architect was Morrill J. Curtis). Brougher in particular was involved with the Belmont, Tonopah, Midway and Tonopah Mining Company and the Tonopah Divide Mining Company. Brougher owned the Tonopah Banking Corporation, which had an office in the lobby of the 1905 building, and was a director of the Bank of Italy in San Francisco.
The reinforced concrete hotel was faced with stone on the front and brick on the sides and rear. The neighboring three-story Brougher-Govan Block, with rooms on the upper floors, served as the first Mizpah and remains connected. Cast iron columns were used in the windows and fire escapes. The three and five story buildings are joined with a wood stairway crowned with a skylight. Steam heat was provided, along with the first elevator in Tonopah.
According to legend, Wyatt Earp kept the saloon, Jack Dempsey was a bouncer, and Howard Hughes married Jean Peters at the Mizpah. But Wyatt Earp left Tonopah before the Mizpah was built, Hughes was married in Tonopah, but not at the Mizpah, and Dempsey asserted he was never a bouncer. The hotel nevertheless features the Jack Dempsey Room and the Wyatt Earp Bar.
The hotel is said to house a ghost deemed the Lady in Red by hotel guests who have experienced her presence. Legend says that the Lady in Red is the ghost of a prostitute who was beaten and murdered on the fifth floor of the hotel by a jealous ex-boyfriend. Another widely accepted description of the events is that The Lady in Red had been caught cheating by her husband at the hotel after he had missed a train, who then proceeded to kill her in a jealous rage. The Lady in Red haunting of the Mizpah was featured in season 5, episode 2 of Ghost Adventures on the Travel Channel.
The Mizpah changed hands several times through the years until Frank Scott of Las Vegas (who also built the Union Plaza Hotel) bought it in 1979. Scott updated the hotel with “all the modern conveniences,” acting as a bridge to the modern day, all the while preserving the antiquated romance that had first drawn him to the hotel. In all, the work took 2.5 years and cost almost $4 million.
The hotel had been shuttered since 1999, but in early 2011, the hotel was purchased by Fred and Nancy Cline of Cline Cellars, Sonoma, California, who renovated and reopened the building to the public in August 2011. The newly renovated hotel has 47 rooms, a bar, and two restaurants; The Pittman Cafe and the Jack Dempsey Room. There are plans to renovate further rooms in the hotel annex and to add a small casino to the property.

Naejunko Week 2022
I'm here to announce Naejunko Week 2022.
This week will start December 25 and end January 1.
Day and themes
Day 1:Christmas/Junko's birthday
Self explanatory, either Junko's birthday or Christmas or something combining the two.
Day 2:Role Swap/Life Swap
Role Swap is stuff like Mastermind Makoto and Protag Junko, stuff you already seen before. Life Swap is "what if Junko had Makoto's life and Makoto had Junko's" but their talents and personality still remained, just changed depending on the circumstances they lived.
Day 3:First Meeting/Graduation
First Meeting is anything you think count as a first meeting (either meeting at Hope's Peak, Makoto seeing the Real Junko at the final class trial, Makoto seeing what Junko is truly like or anything you think fits) while Graduation is a similar thing (either them graduating from Hope's Peak, the "Graduation" when the blackened wins the class trial, anything that fits).
Day 4:Non-Despair AU/Rivals AU
Non Despair AU is self explanatory. Rivals AU is...well remember how Nagito and Kokichi can be considered Rivals/Troublemakers to Hajime and Shuichi? Well assume in this AU Junko fills a similar role to those two, in this killing game she isn't the mastermind and is just a regular participant of the killing game alongside Makoto.
Day 5: Corrupted Makoto/Reformed Junko
Self explanatory in both sides, you can play around it of you wish (Like either of them is faking being Reformed/Corrupted or you can play around what "Reformed" and "Corrupted" mean, not just becoming good/evil).
Day 6:New Years/Goodbyes
Self explanatory, something related to New Years or Goodbye.
Day 7:New Beginnings/Reincarnation
Self explanatory too, something related to New Beginnings or Reincarnation.
Rules
Must be about Makoto and Junko
It must be about the two themes...or both! You can combine the two of you wish and get creative with it!
It's not necessary for it to be romantic if you don't want (even if that's my personal preference) as long as it's about these two
Tag your work as #Naejunko Week 2022
It can be fanfics, Fanart, animations, sprite comics, whatever as long as you make it
Have fun!

listening to my february-june 2022 playlist which led to ⬇️
#oh my god it was sooooo gooooooood#what do you mean there were 12 months. no there weren't. 2022 ended in mid august. perfect year with no bad months at all#anyway i'm thinking about the 2022 that exists in my mind (january-mid august) it was so good#i listened to. so many albums. and got introduced to so much music#specifically down the route of electronic stuff like eurodance and techno and happy hardcore and that#and also down the route of i guess more atmospheric stuff? like shoegaze and dream pop and droney noisy stuff#and then there was. The Hyperfixation. call me bitter bc i was experiencing extreme truffula flu brainrot aHAHAH- *is shot*#one of the hyperfixations of all time. it was so intense it gave me agoraphobia#okay i had agoraphobia anyway but my camp entre obsession did contribute to it a bit#bc it released so many chemicals in my brain it would just give me anxiety#okay but the actual agoraphobia was so weird like what was going on there#i was so scared of eating food that might annihilate my digestive system i just wouldn't eat. and wouldn't leave the house#i mean i did leave the house but only if i had to and i DID NOT enjoy it and i would start zoning out if i was out for too long#and i did eat but it was limited to like. porridge and bread and for some reason sushi. like they were the only foods i didn't fear#what was wrong with me#then i got over it by the summer. like the slight fear comes back sometimes for a few weeks but it'll never be as bad as it was then#my god the summer though. unreal time#july we have such a complicated history but you did a great job in 2022#the swag archive..........the career awakening...........(don't tell my 22yo self trying to apply for archiving jobs is the absolute worst)#(let her have her dream)#omg speaking of the dream. and also swag. the night i found out swag was asexual. wtf. great night#i guess it was a mixture of always being in search of a canonically asexual character that i was interested in since i was 18#like there was todd chavez but i wasn't like Obsessed with him or anything. and i can't think of any other character i knew#and then i find out just as I'm going to bed that the character that has been absolutely obliterating my soul for the past 6 months#is canonically asexual?? so then i didn't sleep for another 2 hours#unreal night#I'm running out of tags but anyway i love you first 8.5 months of 2022 i love you 2nd year of uni i love you camp entre truffula flu#i love you every album i listened to then i love you job i had at that sweet shop i even love you agoraphobia no i don't you were awful#but you were part of the vibe. anyway 2022 jan-aug my beloved#ramble

What qualified as a bridge at a BSA camp
yes we did little bounces on it to make it wiggle
yes it was slippery
no we did not fall in
probs one of my favorite hikes ever
I do love a good adventuring and wandering through the woods
​the trail was very overgrown despite the 50+ people from the wilderness survival class trampling through there on the way to their outpost/camp out night

So, in 2022, I:
*Flew down to Momocon and met some cartoon community peeps for the first time
Tumblr media
*Realized my 'place' in the community
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
*Found a strong visual style for my channel & profiles
Tumblr media Tumblr media
*Made multiple in-depth videos, each more ambitious than the last
youtube
youtube
youtube
Not bad for a guy like me.
Here's to 2023 being an even more ambitious year, and thanks to all those who have supported what I've done, stood by me when things got stressful, and helped when the pressure began to get to me (you know who you are).

is your cty hate about working or attending??? I worked there last summer and the kids were nice and cool but the program itself was an unmitigated disaster
sort of neither?? i just met cty alums in college who were insufferable about it in a Former Gifted Child way so i think of it as Their Annoying Thing
#i am not an understander of people who are so obsessed with their summer camp that they go back to work there as adults#i'm also just like a bit of a gifted n talented programming skeptic particularly when it's so tied to test scores#it's also kind of interesting but weird to me there there's such a robust ecosystem of programs and instituions that#feed (mostly wealthy) children directly into brand name universities#i was sort of blissfully unaware of it until college and then i was like wait u mean to tell me this is a billion dollar industry#looked it up and apparently JUST tutoring and test prep franchises JUST in the united states were worth $1.7 billion in 2022#which doesn't even get into summer camps and math circles and the quizzing industry and extracurricular coaching and private schools#it's just this whole weird mostly-cloistered world#that turns out a hell of a lot of people who are blissfully unaware that they've been cultivated to thrive#because it's sold to them as participation in meritocracy#which is not to say it's not ALSO a pressure cooker for all sorts of other things such as mental illness#and it's also not to say that no marginalized students have ever gotten benefits from these programs#i feel like i overcomplicated this a little the long and short answer is that i had a roommate once who was a cty alum and employee#and he was and is the most annoying man i have ever met so i am a hater of things i associate with him on principle#but also all of the other stuff idk#anonymous#ask and receive

Tonopah, NV (No. 4)
Also in Nye County is the Yomba Band of the Yomba Shoshone Tribe of the Yomba Reservation, a federally recognized band of Western Shoshone people. The Western Shoshone dominated most of Nevada at the time of American settlement in the 1860s.
Since the late 20th century, Tonopah has relied on the nearby military Tonopah Test Range as its main source of employment. The military has used the range and surrounding areas as a nuclear bomb test site, a bombing range, and a base of operations for the development of the F-117 Nighthawk.
In 2014, California-based solar energy company SolarReserve completed construction on a $980 million advanced solar energy project near Tonopah. The Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project uses liquid sodium as a heat transfer medium for its solar energy storage technology. The plant began producing power in November 2015.
On May 15, 2020, a magnitude 6.5 earthquake struck 35 miles (56 km) west of Tonopah, followed by a series of aftershocks, the largest of which was a magnitude 5.1. However, no injuries were reported. It was the largest earthquake in Nevada since 1954.
