Construction workers in Reno discovered every historian’s dream last month, when they dug up the city's 1965 time capsule.  So what did they find inside?  And if we made a Nevada time capsule today, what would you put in it?  What represents our state today, with its economic troubles, Strip entertainment, and people?  Our historians present their wish lists - what's yours?

COMMENTS:
My only comment involves the form in which the information is left in the capsule. Not sure when the capsule would be opened but.....if CDs become like 8-track tapes (and it looks like they will), there may not be CD players to play the info. I suggest a mix of digital media (with a web link for this portion) and then some tactile items and some things on paper.

For the time capsule: A copy of real estate listing mags from 2007 and 2011 with descriptions and prices (to tell about our bubble). Print outs of facebook pages, google search results, Ebay. A light bulb from Fremont Street experience and photos of what it did. one of those mini "Welcome to Las Vegas" flashing signs.
