Reno's Midtown District is a success story in itself. Located right in the center of everything, just adjacent to the downtown, this area was long considered nothing special, perhaps even a little sketchy. Then a group of local businesses realized just how cool this community really is and decided to let the rest of the world know about it too. The result has been a section of Reno that celebrates special established shops and welcomes new and hip businesses as well. There are restaurants, retail stores, museums, nightlife and entertainment, professional services and more, all with a chic nouveau twist on the classic Biggest Little attitude.
