Construction / Permit for 10 North Virginia

I heard through the rumor mill something big and permanent was planned for the southwest corner of the 10 North Virginia plaza in front of city hall. There is a $15,000 structural foundation permit for the property. Something art-oriented perhaps?

Improvements for Riverboat/ Longs Drugs / Whatever Building?

Here is something interesting, a $15,000 remodel for the Riverboat building (34 West 2nd Street) and some kind of facade improvement along Sierra Street. Perhaps someone leased the building and this is a tenant improvement? Or it could be something more procedural like getting the building up to code.

Nevada Discovery Museum Expansion

Nevada Discovery Museum is up to something,, though I am not sure what. The southwest corner of the building is being remodeled, and there's $218,000 construction permit to support some kind of big expansion.

    Noticed that the "Longs" sign is gone, and hadn't noticed that before I noticed the construction. If the two were simultaneous, then I'm hopeful that something might actually end up there!

    Guys, Nevada Discovery Museum is putting in a TOGO's, and then putting back all the landscaping to maintain the integrity of the streetscape. We bought all of the houses across the street, and are xeriscaping and upgrading them, so that little corner of MidTown is going to start looking great. Not sure on the Riverboat, but we had toured that building some time ago -- there's basically a mothballed Long's Drug Store in the ground floor, complete with retail shelves, freezers, refrigerators, etc. CVS Pharmacy bought Longs out, and they are on a long-term and very lucrative lease there that is unbreakable without big penalties. So...I would put my money on a new CVS Pharmacy going in right there, or a MinuteClinic or Caremark.
