[6] In the late 1980s and early 1990s, a poetry, arts, and music scene develops near UNLV along Maryland Parkway, a major thoroughfare on the eastside of Las Vegas, centered around the coffeehouses, record stores, and bars that typify the college area.
[7] As the 1990s come to a close, a variety of factors leads to the decline of the culture in that area, including the closing of several businesses, a change in format for college radio station KUNV, and the emergence of 18b The Las Vegas Arts District in Downtown Las Vegas.
