Arts District Parking Outrage, the Michelin Guide Returns, and an Ultra Marathon Between Taco Bells
Paid parking is at the heart of the second major showdown of the year between city officials and the Arts District, where small business owners are planning a "protest/rager" on Monday. So what's this fight really about? Co-hosts Dayvid Figler and Sarah Lohman chat with the Nevada Independent's Opinions Editor Andrew Kiraly about the brouhaha, plus how we really feel about the return of the Michelin Guide after a 15-year hiatus, and Las Vegas's first ever Taco Bell Ultra Marathon (yes, they award bonus points for Diablo Sauce).
