Bean and gone

On Thursday, Oct. 10, Bibo Coffee Company shut the doors to its 945 Record St. location for the final time. As part of the community farewell that accompanied the news, customers were encouraged to sign the now blank walls that were often used to display local art shows. Since opening in 2010, the Record Street Bibo has been a familiar gathering spot for University of Nevada, Reno, students and faculty, local artists, Reno firefighters and Union Pacific Railroad engineers alike. The building and surrounding residences will be demolished to make room for expanded UNR student housing projects.
