Reno Loner

Here are a few more palindromes from my collection. The ones I can trace have references. The story connecting them is my own invention.

Indian artifact store in the desert:
{} Red Nevada vender

The store didn't raise enough money to afford cat food for:
{} Taco Cat

His
{} Tepee Pet

Owner's worst sin was smoking mixture of bark and leaves: *1
{} Kinnikinnik

Then owner of artifact store discovers the wonders of Reno:
{} Lager, sir, is regal

There he meets Pam, who shows him all the best Reno places to drink:
{} Pamela's ale map

Graduates to other liquors.
{}Red Rum, sir, is murder.

The alcohol flows. *1
{} Night, fifth Gin.

Blames hangover on:
{} Evil olive

Owner of the artifact store, now out of money and 100 miles from home:
{} Reno loner

Desperate for cash, tries to sell headdress in Reno Tribune classified ad:
{} Must sell at tallest sum

Listening to the sound of stale ale sloshing in discarded half full bottle:
{} Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age

The bartender (who you may remember from a previous palindrome):
{} Bob, a nabob

Gives him the good news. His tribe started a Casino in Iowa. Now he drives a:
{} Racecar

It's:
{} A Toyota

And Taco Cat found an Iowa wife, a
{} Tuna Nut

In the next Palindrome story, he becomes mayor on the votes of
{} Senile Felines
