Reno's West Street Market
With the official announcement of the tenants of the new West Street Market opening this summer/fall, it seems downtown Reno is about to get a lot better. A bakery, an Italian and a Greek restaurant, a wine bar, grocery stores selling produce from local farms, and a weekly Saturday morning farmer's market will act as a tipping point for downtown's already burgeoning cultural center -- all within a 12 minute walk from my house. (For those who don't know Reno, the Riverwalk district straddles the Truckee River whitewater area, and is a distinct entity from the nearby casino strip.)

Though it's not quite winning the lotto or waking up in paradise, this sounds like one hell of a rapid quality of life improvement.
No, it's kind of like going from a 6th tier city to a 5th tier city, but any improvement is good.
(Tiers, of course, are not determinative of quality of life. Vegas is a tier 2 or 3 city, yet it's quality of life is lower than Reno's IMO.)
fair enough
