The Local Lens – Cal Neva Memories
August 13, 2025 | Linda Offerdahl
Frank Sinatra Showroom, Indian Room, Circle Bar….bring back memories? The Cal Neva is coming back! Jason Newcomer and McWhinney presented their latest plans for revitalizing the Cal Neva. They are bringing back a lot of our memories but in an updated, tasteful form of the 100-year-old lodge. I toured the job site yesterday and was impressed with how much progress they have made. The hotel brand is Proper, a small boutique hotel known for incorporating a local vibe that is welcoming to both locals and visitors. Look for an opening in 2027. Find more details at REVITALIZE CAL NEVA.
Shabby Chic tomorrow night! Tahoe Family Solutions has revitalized itself with new management, led by Jody Wright, and a renewed commitment to its role as our family resource center. If you didn’t get tickets in time for Shabby Chic, consider patronizing their thrift store in Upper Village Center. They are committed to supporting our workforce and families in times of need, providing much-needed mental health services in both languages, and a commitment to children and education.
