News on Sierra Spirit and CVS Pharmacy in Downtown Reno

1/16/09 - GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS, AND NEWS IN BETWEEN -
SIERRA SPIRIT - In some much needed good news, looks like Sierra Spirit will be sticking around for a while longer, and the RTC bus service cuts aren't as bad as feared, for now.
SATELLITE - I am a little late breaking this, but it appears Satellite Lounge is with us no more. :(
CVS PHARMACY DOWNTOWN - Mayor Cashell is interested in flying down to CVS Pharmacy's headquarters for a face-to-face motivational meeting Nevada style. Well, just kidding on the Nevada style..but he does want a face to face meeting, on the suggestion of Dave Aiazzi. Also, speaking of Dave, he mentioned opening the CVS Pharmacy downtown is as important if not more important than a baseball stadium. He is willing to look for money in other projects or postpone certain deals to find monies to incite CVS...however Jessica Jones from the Redevelopment Agency again stated that CVS is focused on rebranding their stores first, then looking at expansion plans. CVS Pharmacies are known to open in downtown urban areas.
