Here are the top stories in Reno today:
- Local restaurateur Mark Estee is helping to launch a new culinary venture this spring: a rent-by-the-hour commercial kitchen inside a new apartment complex. With kitchen amenities such as private lockers and freezers, the space is being pitched by developers as ideal for local culinary start-ups, caterers and food truck operations. Estee, CEO of the ever-expanding food empire Local Food Group, said he has only offered consultancy services thus far but hopes to play a greater role. (Reno Gazette Journal)
- The Reno City Council passed an ordinance at Tuesday's council meeting outlining the unlawful use of a whip and placed whips under the weapons municipal code. The ordinance bans whips from the downtown corridor, including the possession, use or carrying of a whip without a permit. Additionally, the ordinance outlines that cracking a whip within Reno city limits is unlawful. The ordinance was passed to address the growing number of calls to police when people called mistaking the cracking whips for gunshots. (KOLO)
- The Zombie Crawl returns to downtown Reno for a night full of booze and fun events after it was canceled last year due to COVID-19. Participants can get a crawl cup and map to the event for $10. The crawl cups act as a ticket to the event, according to the event website. As of Wednesday morning, about 2,000 people purchased the crawl cups. (Reno Gazette Journal)
