there is a great TJ Maxx in south reno near Meadowood Mall (its on Kietzke and McCarren/South Virginia Street).
I have spent a lot of money at that one, and in the same parking lot is a wal-mart, sam's club, micheals, marshall's and so many more. Basically everything you could need is in South Reno about 5 miles before you go up the mountain.
when it gets closer I can give you better directions.
