Mike Van Houten has been documenting the changes in downtown Reno for over a decade, with a focus on tracking what's happening and where on his blog, Downtown Makeover. He appeared on Renoites about 2 years ago, and a lot has certainly happened since then!
This week's episode is a recap of various development projects in Downtown Reno and and surrounding neighborhoods. Topics included the current status of the (failed?) City Center Harrah's renovation, the impacts of Reno Public Market and RED, rising rents in Midtown driving out long time businesses like Recycled Records, the debate over whether road medians should stay or go, how far behind demand we are at building what is likely needed as we grow, and more!
