History
I did a short piece concerning my thoughts on Las Vegas for the Las
Vegas Blog Now he’s linked to me as a source for Las Vegas History. …Open mouth, insert foot, chew well.
I’m not certain how often I’ll be posting anything on the history of Las Vegas, simply because it’s difficult to verify things I heard while growing up in this town, hell it’s tough to verify what you read in the paper or see on TV.
(For those of you who have a generally low opinion as to the veracity of the press, I was merely making a point. I tend to believe that the press in general, will publish anything they think will sell papers, and the truth be damned.)
I remember some of the old timers because they were friends of my family, but I not always certain I remember correctly or that anyone was telling the absolute truth.
Still, I hope to have a couple of articles up soon, if only about some of the lesser known characters from southern Nevada.
