We're back with another episode of Touch of Grey with Rob & Jeff.
In this episode, our featured guest is none other than our very own, Larry Evinger - the man, the myth, the legend. Larry takes the hot seat to share interesting stories throughout his career in real estate and investments. A lot of ground is covered as he discusses his early days on the mean streets of Chicago, his time with the Walton's, and how he almost crashed a plane in Hopkinsville, Kentucky.
Also featured in this episode is VP of Lodging, Erin McDonald and SVP of Food & Beverage Operations, Klaus Nitsch. They share their valuable insight into all things accommodations and dining at Hotel Renegade - our newest hotel development opening Spring of 2024 in Boise, Idaho.
