Thanks for the Podcast Props
Reno and Its Discontents, a popular local Reno blog that discusses politics, development, culture, media and various other issues affecting the area, and was recently featured on CNN, gave us and our interviewee, Jim Litchfield a little proverbial ink yesterday regarding our podcast interview with him.In the interview, we talk with Jim about his involvement with the implementation of the $1.5 million Reno Whitewater Park, which has been a phenomenal improvement to the downtown core. It has stimulated new development consisting of condos, restaurants, bars and shops, and it has also garnered an impressive amount of PR for the region. Just Google Jim Litchfield or Reno River Festival, and you will see. Since its inception, there has been a river festival each May where professional kayakers from around the country come to compete in the Truckee River.While Reno is definitely still holding on to its roots in the gaming industry, there is a lot of change happening to the City, which is diversifying its image. With close access to 13 different world-class ski resorts, Lake Tahoe, whitewater kayaking, fishing, mountain biking, and more, it is truly “America’s Adventure Place.”I’ve got to say, it is also pretty awesome when your CEO let’s you go skiing on a work day. With a little bit of snow yesterday in the high elevations, I am beginning to feel the itch.
