Yes, Vegas will eat your lunch and punch you in the throat if you let it. I am still committed to Vegas, we are still at the ground floor of a very young city. There is still a chance that it could could move past the image it has fostered for itself and become a real city with real culture. The residents who chose to stay, and chose to contribute to it are going to be the custodians of that change. That I firmly believe. I know I have mentioned this before, but I think this recession is going to be a boon for Vegas. When we finally dig out of this hell, if we do it right, we will finally hit that point where we can start to become a real city and not some burbclave of tract housing hell. But, to be fair, this city has let me down before. I think I blame the cinderblock walls.
