South Lake Tahoe has seen a lot of change over the last few years, some small project and some large.

Two businesses are jumping in on the action, one by opening three new doors, the other moving down a few doors into a new building.

Chad Tripp opened Bear Bottom Bargains two weeks ago at 1950 Lake Tahoe Blvd. He started three thrift stores in the center that also houses Tile Outlet. One store focuses on furniture, another household items and the third one, upstairs, has sporting equipment and clothing.
