Former Roses Cafe Turning Into ???

I have to admit, I was a little worried when longtime Midtown staple Rose's Cafe closed. That worry partially stemmed from my anxiety about having to find another good neighborhood sandwich shop to replace their unique creations, and the other was a vacant building plaguing recently-revitalized Center Street. A new tenant rapidly took over however, engaged in both an exterior and interior renovation, and is yet unnamed. Anyone know what is going in? Given the number of picnic benches and tables on the outside, I am guessing it's a new restaurant, but what?

Downtown Episode IV: A New Hope

There are a lot of exciting projects queued up for downtown Reno. If even 3 of them come to fruition, downtown Reno will be a strikingly different area.

Mega-Development for Virginia Lake?

So check out Edgewater at Virginia Lake. It's a large project that has been around a while, but like many others put on the back burner...or at least I remember seeing something about it before. It has turned up on the City of Reno's web for a recent planning review on August 13. Perhaps this project is being ressurected? It comprises the entire east side of Virginia Lake, and provides solid arguments in its tentative map documents to support it.
