enjoyed our visits<\/a>, it was always a little uncomfortable venturing that far east.<\/p>\nTweaking isn’t exactly the “ambiance” restaurant operators crave.<\/p>\n
Downtown has a lot of challenges if you stray too far from Fremont Street Experience and the Fremont East district. The hope has been another Tony Hsieh would swoop in and carry on Hsieh’s passion for community-building and investing in downtown. The fact is, there isn’t another Tony Hsieh. Few see downtown’s long-term potential (beyond the tourist corridor) and even fewer have pockets deep enough to turn that potential into reality.<\/p>\n
We trust Hsieh’s family found him as eccentric as many others did, so they’re more interested in liquidation than deification or elevation or percolation or pollination or prolongation or renovation or acceleration, or any number of other words that rhyme with “liquidation.”<\/p>\n
Some heavy hitters are reportedly being shown around downtown, so the future of the area could hold some genuine surprises.<\/p>\n
Sadly, Peyote won’t be around to see it.<\/p>\n
