Thanks! I lived in Verdi from 1952 until 1965, went to Verdi School, swam the Truckee River, raised hell and enjoyed every minute of it. It was a time of "be home by dark." Mortensen's garage was a treasure of old time stuff. The Constable arrested me , but later on--married me to a wonderful lady. Just last summer, we visited my first grade buddy that still lives in Verdi. Wonderful memories--THANKS.

As a local, I appreciate this video and all your research! Despite the over development as of the past few years, Verdi still holds remnants of the charming little town that time forgot.

Same thing happened to my Great Granddads town on Van Wyck Idaho. Railroad came through started a new town a mile away and then they made plans to flood the Payette river and flood Van Wyck and other towns. The flooding wasn't completed until the 1950's but the town of Van Wyck was moved or shutdown around the 1930's. My Gandma and Grandad moved to Paradise CA and became largest employers in the town.

To be honest, Verdi is not a charming little town, it is a mess. It should be charming but that train has passed on bye.

Verdi is now just another patch of tract housing and warehouses.
