Plot summary

In the mid-1980s the Newsroom cafe moves from downtown Las Vegas to Maryland Parkway, the street facing the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and a small business revival begins. Record stores such as the Record Exchange and Benway Bop! grow with the support of the campus radio station KUNV. A few years later the Newsroom takes the name Cafe Espresso Roma, and coffeehouses including Cafe Rainbow and Cafe Copioh open nearby. Young creatives gather in them for poetry, music and art. Interviews with the era's business owners, journalists, musicians and artists, plus archival footage, shape the account.
