More Fremont Street History this Thursday: Untold Stories!

Last year, one of our most successful "Untold Stories" programs was on the history of Fremont Street.

On April 2nd, we will be have a new group of panelists covering More Fremont Street History because the history of the street is just too big to cover in one session.

I am working on putting a panel together. Paul Carson, who knows a great deal about the early history of Fremont Street will be on hand to talk about the history of the Railroad depots and the El Portal Theater.  Paul has found some great photos of the El Portal in his heyday and we will have those on display as well.

Joing Paul on the panel will be Joylin and Rick Vandenburg who had an apparel shop on Fremont Street and former musician Mark Massaglia who use to perform at the Fremont Hotel.

So check back for more updates.

One scheduling note:

Beginning April 2nd, "Untold Stories" will begin at 6:30 pm.
