The current issue of Metroactive has a lead story on the revitalization of Redwood City.
Having lived on the Peninsula for over 10 years it has been a pleasure to watch how both Redwood City and San Carlos have developed and upgraded their downtowns.
The article tells the back story of how John Anagnostou bought and renovated the Fox Theatre and created the Little Fox music club. I've been going to the Little Fox for years and it is one of the few music venues on the Peninsula. Their nightly music ranges from Rock, country, cover bands, blues, folk, and samba!
Just a few months ago, Redwood City opened a new entertainment complex next door to the Fox theatre. It has a 20-plex movie theater, 5 new restaurants, and retail. This has dramatically increased the vitality of downtown and the upscale food choices are expanding rapidly: Milagros, A Tavola, and three new comers in the increasingly trendy Mediterranean: Tarboosh, New Kapadokia, and Mandaloun.
