What will the Real Logo for Midtown Be?

Back in January of this year I came across this little picture of a t-shirt with a new Midtown logo.  I don't remember where...but it got everyone excited that midtown and apparently Midtown businesses saw bicycles as part of their business and philosophy.

Yeah...a great Midtown Logo.


 I'll argue that the statement was and still is true for many business owners in Midtown.  However, the current problem is some of the the "old" business owners of Midtown (who seem to have the ear of RTC and City Council) and could be generalized by terms junk, hardware, and records have a different logo in mind....

Wow...this is the new Midtown Logo!?

The funniest part about the whole issue is the business owners who seem to be most vocal about losing on street parking having on street parking relocated....are some of the business owners who have the largest parking lots in all of the Midtown District and the fewest on street parking spots to lose!

So, the question comes down to this.  Should a city and it's government cater to a small group of business owners (not even necessarily the building owners)....or should the government work towards what is best for the city and all the people who live in it.  We all know system is supposed to work for the good of the people...and this will be a great test case to see if the Reno city council remembers who they work for!  

And just in case you're interested in what regular people are saying about Midtown....
