Cal Ave - Reno
Welcome to California Avenue, Reno! Nicknamed, 'Cal Ave', California Avenue and its surrounding area is just south of the business district. The heart of Cal Ave is from Virginia Street to about Arlington, and after that it turns into a beautiful neighborhood with historic mansions.
Cal Ave has its own official district recognized by the City. Cal Ave is a mix of businesses and a few residences as well, including California Avenue Apts, a building with a lot of history. California Avenue is home to an array of locally owned retail outfits, and provides some of the most unique shopping in Reno. Let's take a closer look at Cal Ave below using the tabs, and underneath that are some great pics taken by a frequenter of this site, Justin Waters. I also added the ability to comment to this page below. Tell me what your favorite Cal Ave business is!

Brief Summary
A couple years ago, a client and friend of mine moved into a posh apartment on 10th Street in Santa Monica, VERY close to the beach. She lived yards away from a higher-end retail district called Montana Avenue, a cute array of shops, boutiques, coffee houses and places to buy your dog a $300 collar. There were always people shopping, sipping coffee, walking their uber-expensive dogs and the crowd was mostly upper-middle class with money killing a lunch break shopping. AMAZING restaurants. I remember thinking 'Wow it would be great if Reno had a little area like this.' (see above-left picture of Montana Avenue)
It seems like out of nowhere California Avenue has transformed into 'Cal Ave', a district VERY reminiscent of Montana Ave in Santa Monica. New businesses are cropping up on a monthly basis there, including Discology, Blue Moon Pizza, LIV, Kalifornia Jean company, Baboo Children's Clothing, and more.
