Imagine my surprise to hear my hometown, Portsmouth, VA, on Dave Koller's America! 

Of course, the ice cream truck infractions make it seem like a silly place.  That's not too far off, actually. :-)

Thanks for another great DK's America! 

Cenk, as I'm now living in Northern Californian let me assure you that Truckee is not barren.  It is a relatively small town by California proportions, but it is at the junction north of Lake Tahoe that continues east to Reno and south to the lake and to many major ski resorts.  It is in mountain country so there is not much farming going on nearby compared to logging and vacationing.

Perhaps you had a subliminal memory of Truckee as barren because it is also known for being the town closest to the site of the location where the Donner Party met its gruesome fate becoming snowed in as it searched for the passage across the Sierras Nevada range. .
